Enhance String Manipulation: Robust String Reversal Implementation with Comprehensive Test Coverage

Description

Summary of Work

Overview

This pull request introduces a robust, flexible string reversal utility with comprehensive test coverage, demonstrating advanced string manipulation techniques and error handling.

Purpose

• Provide a flexible and performant string reversal implementation
• Implement thorough input validation and error handling
• Ensure compatibility with diverse string types and character sets

Key Features

• Manual string reversal algorithm
• Unicode and special character support
• Strict type checking
• Zero-dependency implementation

Technical Highlights

• In-place character swapping algorithm
• O(n) time complexity
• Handles edge cases like empty strings, palindromes, and mixed-character strings
• Explicit type enforcement to prevent unexpected behaviors

Motivation

• Create a reliable, reusable string manipulation utility
• Demonstrate best practices in algorithm design
• Provide a reference implementation for string transformation techniques

Changes Made

Functional Improvements:

• Implemented custom string reversal algorithm
• Added comprehensive input validation
• Supported diverse string manipulation scenarios

Architectural Considerations:

• Minimal external dependencies
• Clear separation of concerns
• Efficient in-memory string transformation

Performance Optimizations:

• O(n) time complexity algorithm
• In-place character swapping
• Lightweight implementation

Tests and Verification

Test Coverage:

• 7 comprehensive test scenarios implemented
• Validated string reversal for multiple input types
• Tested edge cases:
  • Standard strings
  • Empty strings
  • Palindromes
  • Strings with spaces
  • Special characters
  • Unicode strings

Validation Approaches:

• Thorough input type checking
• Explicit error handling verification
• Cross-platform compatibility testing
