This method is designed to deserialize a JSON string containing offset information into a `Map` object.\n\nHere's an explanation of the code:\n\n1. **Method Signature:**\n ```java\n @SuppressWarnings(\"unchecked\")\n public static Map deserializeOffsetMap(String lastSourceOffset) throws IOException;\n ```\n - The method is declared as `public`, `static`, and returns a `Map`.\n - It takes one parameter: `lastSourceOffset` of type `String`.\n - The method throws an `IOException`.\n\n2. **Null and Empty Check:**\n ```java\n if (lastSourceOffset == null || lastSourceOffset.isEmpty()) {\n offsetMap = new HashMap<>(); \n } else {\n // ...\n }\n ```\n - If the input string is either `null` or empty, a new `HashMap` named `offsetMap` is created and assigned to it.\n\n3. **Deserialization:**\n ```java\n offsetMap = JSON_MAPPER.readValue(lastSourceOffset, Map.class);\n ```\n - If the input string isn't null or empty, the method uses a `JSON_MAPPER` object (assumed to be an instance of a JSON parser like Jackson's `ObjectMapper`) to deserialize it into a `Map`. The `readValue()` function is called with two arguments:\n 1. The input string (`lastSourceOffset`).\n 2. A type argument `Map.class`, indicating that the method expects a map as output.\n\n4. **Return Statement:**\n ```java\n return offsetMap;\n ```\n - After processing, the deserialized or default-constructed `offsetMap` is returned.\n\nIn summary, this function takes a JSON string representing an offset map and returns it as a `Map`. If no input string is provided (null or empty), it creates a new empty map; otherwise, it deserializes the given JSON string into a map using a JSON parser. The `@SuppressWarnings(\"unchecked\")` annotation warns about potential unchecked casts in the code but doesn't affect its functionality since `Map` is a known type.", "metric": 0.19340463458110513} \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/tests/results/examples/demo/9-react.1.result b/tests/results/examples/demo/9-react.1.result new file mode 100644 index 000000000..a670f1757 --- /dev/null +++ b/tests/results/examples/demo/9-react.1.result @@ -0,0 +1,24 @@ +How many years ago was the discoverer of the Hudson River born?

Having well-defined goals will guide your planning process and help you measure the success of your event post-execution. For instance, if your goal is to raise $5000 for a local animal shelter, you'll plan activities that can realistically generate this amount, such as auctions, raffles, or sp", "Forming a planning committee is an essential step in organizing a successful charity event. This team will serve as the backbone of your event, ensuring that all aspects are covered and deadlines are met. Begin by identifying individuals with diverse skills and strengths who are passionate about your cause.

Clearly define each member's responsibilities to avoid confusion and ensure everyone understands their role in the event's success. Regular meetings are crucial for maintaining momentum,", "Choosing the right venue is paramount to the success of your charity event. The venue should align with the nature and scale of your event, accommodating both the number of attendees and the activities planned. For instance, a small, intimate gathering might be better suited in a cozy community hall or private room, while larger events such as galas or fundraising runs may require a spacious auditorium, park, or sports complex.

Personalize each pitch, highlighting how their involvement can make a significant difference in achieving your charity's goals. Be persistent but", "Following up after your charity event is crucial for maintaining relationships and fostering future support. Begin by sending personalized thank-you messages to all attendees, donors, and volunteers. This not only shows appreciation but also keeps your organization top-of-mind for potential future contributions.

Share photos and videos from the event to create a sense of nostalgia and engagement. Additionally, consider sending a follow-up survey to gather feedback, which can help improve future events. Lastly"]["Improving your personal credit score is a crucial step towards financial health, and one of the most effective ways to do this is by consistently paying your bills on time. Late or missed payments can significantly harm your credit score as they indicate to lenders that you may be a risky borrower. Setting up automatic payments or reminders can help ensure you never miss a due date. Additionally, consider setting aside funds each month specifically for these payments to avoid any potential late fees or damage to your credit history. It's also beneficial to review your credit reports regularly to catch and correct any errors that might be", "Maintaining a low credit utilization ratio is essential for improving your personal credit score. This ratio represents the amount of credit you're currently using compared to your total available credit. To calculate it, divide your total credit card balances by your total credit limits, then multiply by 100 to get a percentage. Aim to keep this number below 30%. For instance, if your combined credit card balances are $2,000 and your total credit limit is $10,000, your credit utilization ratio would be 20%, which is considered healthy. Lower ratios demonstrate responsible credit usage and", "Regularly checking your credit reports is an essential step towards improving your personal credit score. This practice allows you to monitor your financial health, identify any errors or discrepancies, and take prompt action to rectify them. In the United States, you're entitled to a free copy of your credit report from each of the three major credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion) once every 12 months through AnnualCreditReport.com. Review these reports meticulously for inaccuracies such as incorrect personal information, accounts that aren't yours, or late payments reported err", "Limiting new credit applications is a crucial step in improving your personal credit score. Each time you apply for new credit, the lender performs a hard inquiry on your credit report, which can temporarily lower your score. Multiple hard inquiries within a short period may signal to potential lenders that you're a higher risk, potentially leading to rejections or less favorable terms. Instead of applying for multiple credits at once, consider spacing out applications over several months. If you're shopping for the best rates on loans like mortgages or car loans, many credit scoring models will group these inquiries together and", "Maintaining old credit accounts can significantly contribute to improving your personal credit score over time. Credit history, which makes up about 15% of your FICO score, is a crucial factor in determining your creditworthiness. The length of your credit history is part of this component. Having older accounts demonstrates that you've responsibly managed credit for an extended period, which can positively impact your score. Even if these accounts have low balances or are no longer actively used, keeping them open can be beneficial. However, it's essential to use them judiciously and pay off any balances in full each month to avoid", "Diversifying your credit types can positively impact your credit score when done strategically. This involves having a mix of different credit accounts, such as credit cards, retail accounts, installment loans (like car loans or mortgages), and consumer finance accounts (like personal loans). However, it's crucial to only apply for new credit when necessary and to manage all your accounts responsibly. Each new account can result in a hard inquiry on your credit report, which may temporarily lower your score. Therefore, it's essential to research and understand the implications before diversifying. Always aim to", "Maintaining a low credit utilization ratio is essential for improving your personal credit score. This means keeping the amount of revolving credit you're using (credit card balances) to a minimum compared to your total available credit limit. Maxing out your credit cards signals lenders that you're relying heavily on credit, which can negatively impact your score. Aim to use no more than 30% of your available credit at any given time. If possible, pay your balances in full each month to avoid interest charges and demonstrate responsible credit management. Regularly monitoring your credit utilization and making timely payments will gradually improve"]["Staying motivated during a job search can be challenging, but setting clear goals is an effective strategy to maintain momentum. Begin by identifying your career aspirations and the type of role that aligns with your skills and interests. Write down these objectives in specific, measurable terms. For instance, instead of saying \"I want a job in marketing,\" set a goal like \"I will apply for three marketing positions per week for the next month.\" This level of detail not only provides direction but also offers a tangible way to track progress.

Hoarding vacation days may seem like a good strategy to accumulate more time off, but it can lead to burnout and negatively impact both your mental health and productivity. Instead, schedule periodic time away from the office to recharge. This could be a long weekend, a week-long getaway, or even a staycation where you disconnect from work entirely. When planning your vacation, ensure it's well in advance so you can manage expectations at work and delegate tasks if necessary.

This space should be separate from your living areas to mentally distinguish between work and personal time. Ideally, it should be quiet, well-lit, and comfortable, with all necessary equipment and resources readily available.

This means setting clear boundaries between your professional and personal life, and resisting the urge to check emails or complete tasks during non-work hours.

By regularly practicing mindfulness, you train your brain to concentrate better and for longer periods, which is essential for memory retention. Furthermore,", "Adequate sleep is essential for memory consolidation, the process by which short-term memories are transformed into long-term ones. During sleep, particularly during deep slow-wave sleep and REM (Rapid Eye Movement) stages, the brain replays experiences from the day, strengthening neural connections related to those memories. Lack of sufficient sleep can impair this process, leading to difficulties in recalling information. Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep per night.

Clearly defined goals and a well-planned budget provide a solid foundation for your charity event,", "Forming a planning committee is an essential step in organizing a successful charity event. This team should consist of individuals with diverse skills and strengths who are passionate about the cause. Assign clear roles and responsibilities to each member, such as fundraising, marketing, logistics, or volunteer coordination.

Utilize collaborative tools like shared documents and project management software to keep track of progress and deadlines. By delegating tasks effectively, you not only distribute the workload but also foster a sense of ownership", "Choosing the right venue is paramount to the success of your charity event. The venue should comfortably accommodate your expected number of guests while allowing for any necessary activities or installations. Accessibility is another crucial factor; ensure it's easily reachable by public transportation and has ample parking if not.

A central location can attract a larger audience, but don't overlook smaller, community-based spaces that may offer unique charm or lower costs. Remember to visit the potential sites", "Promoting your charity event effectively is crucial to its success. Harness the power of social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn to reach a wide audience. Create engaging posts with compelling visuals, clear event details, and a strong call-to-action. Utilize relevant hashtags to increase visibility and consider paid promotions for broader reach. In addition to digital marketing, don't overlook traditional media. Reach out to local newspapers, radio stations, and TV networks for coverage. Write press releases that highlight the cause, event details, and key speakers", "Engaging sponsors is a crucial step in organizing a successful charity event. Corporations often view such partnerships as opportunities for brand visibility and community engagement. Start by identifying potential sponsors whose values align with your cause.

Be prepared to offer various levels of sponsorship packages tailored to different budgets, from basic acknowledgment on event materials to premium options that include VIP", "Following up after your charity event is just as important as the planning and execution stages. It's a crucial step in maintaining relationships with attendees, donors, and volunteers, and in ensuring the success of future events.

Transparency builds"]["Improving your personal credit score is a crucial step towards financial health, and one of the most effective ways to do this is by consistently paying your bills on time. Late or missed payments can significantly harm your credit score as they indicate to lenders that you may be a risky borrower. To ensure punctuality, set up automatic payments for recurring bills such as utilities, loans, and credit cards if possible. If this isn't feasible, create a schedule or reminder system to ensure you never miss a due date. Additionally, consider setting aside funds each month specifically for bill payments to", "Maintaining a low credit utilization ratio is a critical factor in enhancing your personal credit score. This ratio represents the amount of revolving credit you're currently using, divided by the total revolving credit limit. Aim to keep this percentage below 30%. For instance, if your total credit limit across all cards is $10,000, strive not to carry a balance higher than $3,000 at any given time. Lower utilization demonstrates financial responsibility and can positively impact your score. To achieve this, consider strategies like paying off balances in full each month or requesting", "Regularly checking your credit reports is an essential step towards improving your personal credit score. This practice allows you to monitor your financial health, identify any errors or discrepancies, and take prompt action to rectify them. In the United States, you're entitled to one free credit report annually from each of the three major credit bureaus - Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion - through AnnualCreditReport.com. Review these reports meticulously for inaccuracies such as incorrect personal information, accounts that aren't yours, or late payments reported erroneously. If you find any", "Limiting new credit applications is a crucial step in improving your personal credit score. Each time you apply for new credit, the lender performs a hard inquiry on your credit report, which can temporarily lower your credit score. Multiple hard inquiries in a short period may signal to potential lenders that you're a higher risk, potentially leading to rejections or less favorable terms. Instead of applying for multiple credits at once, consider spacing out applications over several months. If you're shopping for the best rates on loans like mortgages or car loans, some credit scoring models allow for a \"rate shopping\"", "Maintaining old credit accounts can significantly contribute to improving your personal credit score over time. Credit history, which makes up about 15% of your FICO score, is a crucial factor in determining your creditworthiness. The length of your credit history is part of this component. Having older accounts demonstrates that you've been responsible with credit for an extended period, which can positively impact your score. Even if these old accounts have low limits or high interest rates, it's beneficial to keep them open as long as you're not paying annual fees. However, be mindful of not accumulating unnecessary de", "Diversifying your credit types can positively impact your credit score when done strategically. This involves having a mix of different credit accounts, such as credit cards, retail accounts, installment loans (like car loans or mortgages), and any other consumer finance options. Lenders prefer borrowers with diverse credit experiences because it demonstrates financial responsibility across various types of debt. However, this doesn't mean you should apply for unnecessary loans just to diversify. Instead, consider adding a new type of credit when it aligns with your financial needs and you can manage the payments responsibly. For instance", "Maintaining a low credit utilization ratio is essential for improving your personal credit score. This means keeping the amount of revolving credit you're using (credit card balances) to a minimum compared to your total available credit limit. For instance, if you have a credit limit of $10,000 across all your cards and you owe $3,000, your credit utilization ratio is 30%. Financial institutions view high credit utilization as a sign of financial distress, which can negatively impact your score. Aim to keep this ratio below 30%, but ideally lower"]["Staying motivated during a job search can be challenging, but setting clear goals is an effective strategy to maintain momentum. Begin by identifying your career aspirations and the type of role that aligns with your skills and interests. Write down these objectives in specific, measurable terms.

This helps in generating force for acceleration and maintaining top speed. +7. **Efficient Fat Burning**: Cheetahs have a high proportion of fast-twitch muscle fibers, which burn fat quickly for energy during sprints. +8. **Smooth Skin**: Their skin is smooth to minimize air resistance while running at high speeds. + +Despite their incredible speed, cheetahs cannot maintain these top speeds for long distances due to the intense energy expenditure required.

By delegating tasks effectively, you not only distribute the workload but also foster a sense of ownership", "Choosing the right venue is paramount to the success of your charity event. The venue should comfortably accommodate your expected number of guests while allowing for any necessary activities or installations. Accessibility is another crucial factor; ensure it's easily reachable by public transportation and has ample parking if not.

A central location can attract a larger audience, but don't overlook smaller, community-based spaces that may offer unique charm or lower costs. Remember to visit the potential sites", "Promoting your charity event effectively is crucial to its success. Harness the power of social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn to reach a wide audience. Create engaging posts with compelling visuals, clear event details, and a strong call-to-action. Utilize relevant hashtags to increase visibility and consider paid promotions for broader reach. In addition to digital marketing, don't overlook traditional media. Reach out to local newspapers, radio stations, and TV networks for coverage. Write press releases that highlight the cause, event details, and key speakers", "Engaging sponsors is a crucial step in organizing a successful charity event. Corporations often view such partnerships as opportunities for brand visibility and community engagement. Start by identifying potential sponsors whose values align with your cause.

Late or missed payments can significantly harm your credit score as they indicate to lenders that you may be a risky borrower.

If this isn't feasible, create a schedule or reminder system to ensure you never miss a due date. Additionally, consider setting aside funds each month specifically for bill payments to", "Maintaining a low credit utilization ratio is a critical factor in enhancing your personal credit score. This ratio represents the amount of revolving credit you're currently using, divided by the total revolving credit limit. Aim to keep this percentage below 30%. For instance, if your total credit limit across all cards is $10,000, strive not to carry a balance higher than $3,000 at any given time. Lower utilization demonstrates financial responsibility and can positively impact your score. To achieve this, consider strategies like paying off balances in full each month or requesting", "Regularly checking your credit reports is an essential step towards improving your personal credit score. This practice allows you to monitor your financial health, identify any errors or discrepancies, and take prompt action to rectify them. In the United States, you're entitled to one free credit report annually from each of the three major credit bureaus - Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion - through AnnualCreditReport.com. Review these reports meticulously for inaccuracies such as incorrect personal information, accounts that aren't yours, or late payments reported erroneously. If you find any", "Limiting new credit applications is a crucial step in improving your personal credit score. Each time you apply for new credit, the lender performs a hard inquiry on your credit report, which can temporarily lower your credit score. Multiple hard inquiries in a short period may signal to potential lenders that you're a higher risk, potentially leading to rejections or less favorable terms. Instead of applying for multiple credits at once, consider spacing out applications over several months. If you're shopping for the best rates on loans like mortgages or car loans, some credit scoring models allow for a \"rate shopping\"", "Maintaining old credit accounts can significantly contribute to improving your personal credit score over time. Credit history, which makes up about 15% of your FICO score, is a crucial factor in determining your creditworthiness. The length of your credit history is part of this component. Having older accounts demonstrates that you've been responsible with credit for an extended period, which can positively impact your score. Even if these old accounts have low limits or high interest rates, it's beneficial to keep them open as long as you're not paying annual fees. However, be mindful of not accumulating unnecessary de", "Diversifying your credit types can positively impact your credit score when done strategically. This involves having a mix of different credit accounts, such as credit cards, retail accounts, installment loans (like car loans or mortgages), and any other consumer finance options. Lenders prefer borrowers with diverse credit experiences because it demonstrates financial responsibility across various types of debt. However, this doesn't mean you should apply for unnecessary loans just to diversify. Instead, consider adding a new type of credit when it aligns with your financial needs and you can manage the payments responsibly. For instance", "Maintaining a low credit utilization ratio is essential for improving your personal credit score. This means keeping the amount of revolving credit you're using (credit card balances) to a minimum compared to your total available credit limit. For instance, if you have a credit limit of $10,000 across all your cards and you owe $3,000, your credit utilization ratio is 30%.

Begin by identifying your career aspirations and the type of role that aligns with your skills and interests. Write down these objectives in specific, measurable terms.
