Enhance Array Flattening Utility with Robust Recursive Implementation

Description

Summary of Work

Overview

This pull request introduces a robust and flexible array flattening utility designed to handle complex nested list scenarios across various use cases. The implementation provides a generic solution for transforming nested list structures into flat, predictable representations.

Key Objectives

• Develop a versatile recursive array flattening function
• Support arbitrary levels of list nesting
• Maintain type flexibility and preserve original data characteristics
• Provide clean, readable, and performant implementation

Benefits

• Simplified list transformation for complex data structures
• Consistent handling of nested lists with different depths
• Support for mixed-type list elements
• Minimal memory overhead through recursive approach

Use Cases

• Data preprocessing in analytics
• Transforming nested configuration structures
• Normalizing complex nested data formats
• Simplifying list manipulation in various domains

Changes Made

Functional Enhancements

• Implemented recursive flatten_array() function
• Added support for deeply nested list structures
• Preserved original element types during flattening
• Handled edge cases like empty lists and single-element lists

Architectural Considerations

• Used type-agnostic approach for maximum flexibility
• Implemented pure function without side effects
• Minimal dependencies, focused single-responsibility design
• Supports Python's type hinting for improved code clarity

Tests and Verification

Test Coverage

• Comprehensive test suite covering multiple scenarios
• Verified flattening of:
  • Simple nested lists
  • Deeply nested list structures
  • Empty lists
  • Lists with no nesting
  • Mixed-type list elements
  • Single-element nested lists

Verification Steps

• Ran full test suite to ensure functionality
• Validated edge case handling
• Confirmed no regressions in existing functionality
• Ensured consistent behavior across different input types
