A concrete starting point
Evaluate an integer polynomial with coefficients ordered from highest degree to constant using Horner’s method. Check an empty coefficient list, a negative argument and large integers, rejecting non-integer coefficients or arguments before arithmetic.
Define the change
Describe the input, expected output and boundaries that must stay intact.
Inspect the work
Review the proposed edits and any commands before relying on their result.
Check the outcome
Compare actual behavior with the expected result. If a check fails, investigate it before applying more changes.
