Enhance Core Utility Functions: Robust Input Handling and Comprehensive Test Coverage

Description

Summary of Work

This pull request consolidates improvements to our core utility functions, focusing on enhancing robustness, input validation, and comprehensive test coverage across multiple utility modules.

The changes aim to standardize error handling, improve input processing, and ensure consistent behavior across different utility functions. By implementing rigorous input validation and expanding test scenarios, we've increased the reliability and predictability of our utility library.

Key improvements include:

• Enhanced input validation for all utility functions
• Comprehensive edge case handling
• Improved type checking and error reporting
• Consistent approach to managing unexpected inputs
• Expanded test suites to cover complex scenarios

Changes Made

Functional Improvements:

• Array Flattening: Added support for deeply nested lists and mixed-type list flattening
• Binary Search: Implemented robust handling of empty lists and invalid input types
• RGB to Hex Color Conversion: Enhanced validation for color value ranges and type checking
• String Reversal: Added support for unicode characters and improved input validation
• URL Parsing: Implemented comprehensive parsing for complex URL structures

Architectural Enhancements:

• Standardized error handling across utility functions
• Improved type checking mechanisms
• Created more flexible and resilient input processing strategies

Tests and Verification

Test Verification:

• Executed full test suite with 38 comprehensive test cases
• Covered multiple scenarios including:
  • Edge cases (empty inputs, boundary values)
  • Invalid input types
  • Complex nested structures
  • Unicode and special character handling
• Achieved 100% test pass rate across all utility functions
• Validated consistent behavior under various input conditions
