Life table survivors from mortality rates: Zero radix is accepted · case 03
A zero radix silently yields an all-zero table.
Case contract
Input q (per 100000, last must be 100000 else 'open table'; any outside [0,100000] -> 'invalid q') and radix (<=0 -> 'invalid radix'). l_0 = radix; l_{k+1} = l_k*(1-q_k) rounded half-up at every age; d_k = l_k - l_{k+1}. Return [l, d].
Why this case matters
Life-table arithmetic compounds across ages, so one misplaced index or assumption shifts every downstream value.
One recorded failure
Sample boundary fixtureThis sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.
| Boundary fixture | Actual | Expected | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| zero radix rejected | [[0, 0, 0], [0, 0]] | "invalid radix" | Failed |
