0x04. UTF-8 Validation Challenge : Write a method that determines if a given data set represents a valid UTF-8 encoding.

• Prototype: def validUTF8(data)
• Return: True if data is a valid UTF-8 encoding, else return False
• A character in UTF-8 can be 1 to 4 bytes long
• The data set can contain multiple characters
• The data will be represented by a list of integers
• Each integer represents 1 byte of data, therefore you only need to - handle the 8 least significant bits of each integer Example : carrie@ubuntu:~/0x04-utf8_validation$ cat 0-main.py #!/usr/bin/python3 """ Main file for testing """

validUTF8 = import('0-validate_utf8').validUTF8

data = [65] print(validUTF8(data))

data = [80, 121, 116, 104, 111, 110, 32, 105, 115, 32, 99, 111, 111, 108, 33] print(validUTF8(data))

data = [229, 65, 127, 256] print(validUTF8(data))
