Enhance Core Utility Functions: Robust Input Handling and Algorithm Improvements

Description

Summary of Work

This pull request consolidates improvements across multiple utility functions, focusing on enhancing robustness, error handling, and algorithmic efficiency.

The changes aim to provide more reliable and versatile utility functions that can handle diverse input scenarios while maintaining clean, predictable behavior. By implementing comprehensive input validation, error handling, and edge case support, we've improved the overall reliability and usability of our core utility library.

Key improvements include:

• Enhanced input validation across all utility functions
• Comprehensive error handling for edge cases
• Improved algorithmic implementations
• Consistent approach to input type checking and error reporting

Changes Made

Functional Improvements:

• Array Flattening: Added support for deeply nested lists and robust error handling for invalid input types
• Binary Search: Implemented more comprehensive input validation and handling of edge cases
• RGB to Hex Conversion: Enhanced type checking and added support for various input scenarios
• String Reversal: Improved handling of complex string inputs and added input validation
• URL Parsing: Expanded support for different URL formats and added comprehensive error checking

Architectural Enhancements:

• Consistent error handling approach across all utility functions
• Improved type checking mechanisms
• More flexible input processing strategies

Tests and Verification

Comprehensive Test Coverage:

• Full test suite executed with 100% pass rate (33 total tests)
• Verified functionality across multiple scenarios:
  • Edge cases (empty inputs, single elements)
  • Invalid input handling
  • Complex input processing
• Added tests for:
  • Nested list flattening
  • Binary search with duplicates
  • URL parsing with multiple query parameters
  • RGB color conversion with boundary conditions

Verification Steps:

• Ran complete pytest suite
• Validated all existing test cases
• Confirmed no regressions introduced
• Ensured consistent behavior across different input types
