Robust String Reversal Implementation with Comprehensive Input Handling

Description

Summary of Work

This pull request introduces a robust and efficient string reversal utility with advanced input validation and flexible handling of various string types.

The implementation provides a flexible string manipulation function that can handle diverse input scenarios while maintaining high performance and strict type safety. By implementing a custom in-place reversal algorithm, we've created a solution that is both memory-efficient and adaptable to different use cases.

Changes Made

Functional Improvements:

• Implemented in-place string reversal algorithm
• Added comprehensive input type checking
• Supported reversal of strings with:
  • Basic alphanumeric characters
  • Empty strings
  • Strings with spaces
  • Strings with special characters

Architectural Considerations:

• Used manual character swapping instead of built-in reversal methods
• Implemented type-safe input validation
• Created a stateless, pure function design
• Minimal memory overhead with in-place algorithm

Tests and Verification

Test Coverage:

• Implemented 6 distinct test cases covering various input scenarios
• Verified correct string reversal for multiple input types
• Validated error handling for invalid input types
• Tested edge cases including empty strings and single characters
• Ensured no side effects and consistent behavior
• Achieved 100% code coverage for the string reversal function
