This mini lab models experiment state with a dataclass so run name, score and pass/fail behaviour live in a small explicit object rather than disconnected variables.
This mini lab models experiment state with a dataclass so run name, score and pass/fail behaviour live in a small explicit object rather than disconnected variables.
Learning goal: explain why Mini Lab Model a Small Experiment Run behaves this way, apply it to a small example, and verify the result independently. Begin by being able to justify this first step: State the small task and expected result before coding.
Treat this as a sequence of observable decisions rather than one opaque command. Stage 1: State the small task and expected result before coding. Stage 2: Use the concepts from this module rather than introducing unnecessary new machinery. Stage 3: Inspect intermediate values on the tiny example. Final checkpoint: Explain why the final result follows from the code.

# Step 1 — Import only the named objects needed by the following steps, keeping dependencies explicit.
from dataclasses import dataclass
# Step 2 — Prepare the decorator that will modify or wrap the definition that follows.
@dataclass
class Run:
# Step 3 — Execute this statement and inspect how it changes the current value, object or program state.
name: str
# Step 4 — Execute this statement and inspect how it changes the current value, object or program state.
score: float
# Step 5 — Define the reusable `passed` function; its indented body describes what happens for each call.
def passed(self, threshold=0.8):
# Step 6 — Return the computed value to the caller so the result can be reused or tested.
return self.score >= threshold
# Step 7 — Display the current value explicitly so the result/state can be inspected during execution.
print(Run("A",0.84).passed())The Run instance owns its data and reusable pass/fail behaviour; the result is True.
For Mini Lab Model a Small Experiment Run, trace the specific input through the mechanism above and independently verify one returned value, state change or side effect.
InputObjects/values supplied to the operation.StateNames or mutable objects that may change during execution.OutputReturned value, side effect, file, plot or exception to inspect.Use Mini Lab Model a Small Experiment Run when it answers a defined question in Object-Oriented Python and its inputs/assumptions match the current data or program state.
Reconsider Mini Lab Model a Small Experiment Run when the required information is unavailable, the operation would violate a validation/data boundary, or a simpler operation answers the question more transparently.
Construct a tiny example of Mini Lab Model a Small Experiment Run. First state the small task and expected result before coding. Then use the concepts from this module rather than introducing unnecessary new machinery. Predict the result before execution and explain one boundary or failure case.
