Research direction

Start with the linked wiki entry, “Test Cases for Practice Exercises,” to understand the update process. Choose an unchecked exercise such as grade school or high-scores, inspect its current test cases, and submit a pull request with the needed updates. Done means the selected exercise’s test cases are updated according to the wiki guidance.
