User Story

Essential components

• Title describes the story
• Stakeholder type is identified
• Outcome is described
• Rationale is explicit
• Acceptance criteria are verifiable and from the perspective of the stakeholder

Story

As a user or educator
I want to use a parameter as a means of selecting a district-formation algorithm
so that I can readily invoke different districting algorithms without having to modify the package code itself

Acceptance Criteria

• At least two districting algorithms are implemented in the product
• A public method accepts a parameter that indicates which algorithm should be used by the redistrictor
• Client code (outside the package) demonstrates exercising each of the implemented districting algorithms

Supporting Information

As of this writing (2022-01-10) there are two implemented redistricting algorithms in the package.

• One is hard-coded into the method generateDistricts.
• Another is hard-coded into the method generateDistrictsUsingSnake.
