Identify all changed properties between two documents.

FOUNDATION // 5 MINUTES

Answer contract

An alphabetically sorted array of property-name strings.

Race plan

  1. Compare values by property name.
  2. Collect only keys whose values differ.
  3. Sort the key names alphabetically.

Common mistakes

  • Returning changed values.
  • Preserving document order.
  • Missing a change whose value moved only slightly.

Pre-submit checklist

  • Match the exact answer type.
  • Apply every ordering and tie-break rule.
  • Return no commentary or wrapper outside the answer.
