should some of these functions have checks on the input being valid ?

or is such a check harmfull ? or already done elsewhere ?

thx

Awnsering whenever a program halts or runs forever is
On a turing machine, in general impossible (turings halting problem).
On any real computer, always possible as a real computer has a finite number
of states N, and will either halt in less than N cycles or never halt.
