Fix the loop that explains a reduce one-liner
Your task
An AI fixed a bug with a one-line functools.reduce call and a lambda. The test passed, but you could not explain the line, and your team only merges code its author can explain. So you asked for the same logic as a plain loop that records the running balance after every step.
An assistant wrote explain_fold_steps(values). It is in the editor. It has a bug. Find it and fix it.
Input and output:
values: a list of integers. Any of them can be negative.- Return a list with one entry per value, in order: the balance right after that value is applied.
Rules the tests check:
- The balance starts at 0. That starting 0 is not part of the output, so an empty list returns an empty list.
- For each value in order: add it to the balance. If the result is below 0, the balance becomes 0. Then record the balance.
Examples
explain_fold_steps(values: list[int]) -> list[int]Example 1
Input
explain_fold_steps([3, -5, 4])Output
[3, 0, 4]Example 2
Input
explain_fold_steps([1, 2, 3])Output
[1, 3, 6]
