Enhance String Manipulation Utilities with Robust Reversal Implementation and Comprehensive Testing

Description

Summary of Work

Overview

This pull request consolidates multiple improvements to our string manipulation utilities, focusing on creating a robust, flexible, and thoroughly tested string reversal implementation.

Motivation

We've identified the need for a reliable string reversal utility that:

• Handles diverse input scenarios
• Provides consistent behavior across different string types
• Includes comprehensive error handling
• Offers performant in-place string reversal

Key Improvements

• Implemented a flexible string reversal algorithm
• Added extensive input validation
• Created comprehensive test coverage for edge cases
• Ensured cross-implementation consistency
• Improved type safety and error handling

Changes Made

Functional Improvements

• Developed two complementary string reversal implementations
• Added robust type checking for input validation
• Implemented efficient in-place string reversal algorithm
• Supported diverse string manipulation scenarios

Architectural Enhancements

• Created consistent error handling approach
• Developed type-annotated function signatures
• Implemented generic string reversal logic
• Established clear function documentation standards

Algorithm Optimizations

• Used in-place character swapping for memory efficiency
• Implemented O(n) time complexity reversal method
• Minimized additional memory allocation
• Supported Unicode and special character handling

Tests and Verification

Test Coverage Improvements

• Implemented comprehensive test suites for both implementations
• Added test cases covering:
  • Standard string reversal
  • Empty string scenarios
  • Single character inputs
  • Strings with spaces
  • Special character handling
  • Unicode string support
  • Error case validation

Verification Steps

• Ran full test suite across multiple implementations
• Validated 100% test coverage for string reversal functions
• Performed cross-implementation consistency checks
• Ensured no regressions were introduced during merge

Quality Assurance

• Maintained consistent coding standards
• Verified input validation mechanisms
• Confirmed performance and memory efficiency
• Validated error handling across different input types
