Implement Manual String Reversal Function with Comprehensive Testing

Description

Task

Implement String Reversal Function

Acceptance Criteria

• Function should take a string input and return its reverse
• Should handle empty strings
• Should preserve spaces and special characters
• Should be implemented without using string[::-1] or reverse()

Summary of Work

String Reversal Function Implementation

Changes Made

• Implemented a manual string reversal function in src/string_reversal.py
• Created comprehensive test suite in tests/test_string_reversal.py

Implementation Details

• Used a two-pointer approach to reverse the string manually
• Avoided using built-in methods like [::-1] or reverse()
• Implemented robust type checking and error handling

Acceptance Criteria

✅ Takes a string input and returns its reverse
✅ Handles empty strings correctly
✅ Preserves spaces and special characters
✅ Implemented without using slice notation or built-in reverse methods
✅ Includes comprehensive error handling

Technical Implementation

• Algorithm: Two-pointer swap technique
• Time Complexity: O(n)
• Space Complexity: O(n)
• Converts string to list for in-place character swapping

Testing Approach

• Created 7 test cases covering:
  1. Basic string reversal
  2. Empty string handling
  3. Single character strings
  4. Strings with spaces
  5. Strings with special characters
  6. Mixed character strings
  7. Invalid input type handling

Test Results

• All 7 tests passed successfully
• Verified correct behavior across various input scenarios

Notes

• Provides a robust, manual implementation of string reversal
• Handles edge cases and type checking
• Maintains string integrity during reversal

Changes Made

• Implemented manual string reversal function in src/string_reversal.py
• Added comprehensive type checking
• Created two-pointer swap algorithm
• Updated test suite with multiple test scenarios
• Handled edge cases like empty and single-character strings

Tests

• Test basic string reversal
• Test empty string handling
• Test single character strings
• Test strings with spaces
• Test strings with special characters
• Test mixed character strings
• Test invalid input type handling
