Con­tri­bu­tion S­core

In this pro­jec­t, y­ou will be eval­u­at­ed us­ing a con­tri­bu­tion s­core based on the con­tent of y­our repos­i­to­ry.

To cal­cu­late y­our con­tri­bu­tion s­core, we look at y­our fi­nal de­liv­erable, then we go back in time and find the in­for­ma­tio­n­al dis­tance (how much ex­tra bytes of in­for­ma­tion is need­ed to get from one to the oth­er) to each of the com­mit­s. The change in dis­tance is then the s­core. It is there­fore pos­si­ble to get a neg­a­tive s­core if y­ou push code to the repos­i­to­ry which does not end up in the fi­nal so­lu­tion.

Here are some ad­di­tio­n­al in­fo:

• There are no points for code writ­ten in merge com­mit­s.

• We cal­cu­late a s­core for the re­port which is about the RAPPORT.md file and for the code, which is looking at files end­ing at .java, .sql, .html, .js, and .css.

• When looking at the code we dis­card com­ments, im­port­s and in­den­ta­tion.
