Case contract

Inputs kind, the observed path including initial and final prices, and strike. float-call pays final - min(path); float-put pays max(path) - final; fixed-call pays max(max(path) - K, 0); fixed-put pays max(K - min(path), 0). Round to 6.

Why this case matters

Option expiry, exercise and settlement engines move cash and shares; a wrong branch misstates obligations.

One recorded failure
