Consolidate String Reversal Implementations and Test Coverage

Description

Summary of Work

This pull request aims to address the redundancy of string reversal implementations across multiple modules and ensure consistent test coverage.

Key Observations:

• Two separate modules (string_reversal.py and string_utils.py) contain similar string reversal implementations
• Both implementations include type checking and manual string reversal techniques
• Test suites for both modules cover similar scenarios

Proposed Changes:

1. Evaluate the need for multiple string reversal implementations
2. Consolidate duplicate code into a single, well-documented utility function
3. Ensure comprehensive test coverage is maintained
4. Update import statements and references accordingly

Next Steps:

• Review the current implementations for functional differences
• Determine the most robust and efficient implementation
• Refactor code to eliminate redundancy
• Verify all existing tests continue to pass

Changes Made

• Identified two similar string reversal functions in different modules
• Redundant implementations with minor algorithmic variations
• Comprehensive test coverage in both test_string_reversal.py and test_string_utils.py
• Potential for code consolidation and simplified maintenance

Tests and Verification

• Verified test coverage in both test_string_reversal.py and test_string_utils.py
• Test scenarios include:
  • Basic string reversal
  • Empty string handling
  • Strings with spaces
  • Special characters
  • Unicode characters
  • Invalid input type detection
• Manual review of test cases to ensure no scenarios are lost during consolidation
