Utilities for testing code equivalence

Contributed by: Richard Hennigan

CodeEquivalenceUtilities is a collection of Wolfram Language functions that can be used to test if different pieces of code are equivalent without the need for evaluation.

This allows comparison of unevaluated expressions that may have non-deterministic outputs (e.g. random values, dates, etc).

This Paclet represents the underlying technology that powers several automated code grading systems, such as the online exercises for EIWL and Wolfram Challenges.

Installation Instructions

To install this paclet in your Wolfram Language environment, evaluate this code:
