//  Good
function Activity(amount) {
    this.amount = amount;
}

Activity.prototype.getAmount = function() {
    return this.amount;
};

//  Avoid
function Activity(amount){this.amount=amount;}
Activity.prototype.getAmount=function(){return this.amount;}

//  Good - Clear JSDoc comments
/**
 * Set a new amount value with validation
 * @param {number} value - The new amount to set
 * @returns {boolean} - true if valid, false otherwise
 */
Activity.prototype.setAmount = function(value) {
    if (value <= 0) {
        return false;
    }
    this.amount = value;
    return true;
};

//  Avoid - No comments or unclear comments
Activity.prototype.setAmount = function(value) {
    // set amt
    if (value <= 0) return false;
    this.amount = value;
    return true;
};

# Run all tests
npm test

# Run specific examples
npm run example:payment
npm run example:refund

Add tests to test.js:

test('Your test description', () => {
    const payment = new Payment(100, 'Test');
    assert(payment.getAmount() === 100, 'Should equal 100');
});
