Robust String Reversal Implementation with Comprehensive Test Coverage

Description

Summary of Work

This pull request introduces a robust and efficient string reversal utility with a focus on reliability, performance, and thorough test coverage.

Key objectives:

• Provide a flexible and efficient string reversal mechanism
• Implement comprehensive error handling and input validation
• Ensure high-quality implementation with extensive test scenarios

The implementation addresses multiple string manipulation challenges, including edge cases and different input types, making it a versatile utility for string processing tasks.

Changes Made

Functional Improvements:

• Implemented two-pointer algorithm for efficient string reversal
• Added robust type checking and input validation
• Supported handling of various string types:
  • Empty strings
  • Single-character strings
  • Strings with special characters
  • Strings with mixed character types

Architectural Enhancements:

• Created modular, reusable string reversal function
• Designed with clear type hints and docstring documentation
• Optimized for memory efficiency by using in-place character swapping

Tests and Verification

Test Coverage Verification:

• Implemented 7 comprehensive test cases covering different scenarios
• Validated input type handling (string vs non-string inputs)
• Tested edge cases including:
  • Empty string reversal
  • Single character strings
  • Strings with spaces
  • Strings with special characters
  • Mixed character strings

Test Approach:

• Used pytest for test implementation
• Ensured 100% code coverage for the string reversal function
• Verified both successful reversals and error handling
