Changes Implemented

  • Replaced Union with Optional for clearer type hinting
  • Added input validation to ensure:
  • Lists contain at least two elements
  • All elements are integers
  • Improved error handling with informative exceptions for better debugging
  • Enhanced result display in the __main__ block to show both the indices and values of the matched pair
  • Applied PEP 8 improvements, including better spacing, comment structure, and improved readability

Testing & Validation

Successfully tested for:

  • Valid pairs
  • Empty lists
  • Lists with fewer than two elements
  • Lists containing non-integer values
  • No valid pairs found

### Summary
Refactored the `two_sum` function to enhance clarity, improve structure, and ensure compliance with Python best practices (PEP 8). This version prioritizes intuitive logic, robust error handling, and clear documentation.

### Key Changes
- **Function Renaming:** Renamed `twoSum` to `two_sum` to adhere to PEP 8 standards for function naming.
- **Improved Variable Naming:** Replaced ambiguous names (`chk_map`, `compl`) with more intuitive identifiers (`seen_values`, `complement`).
- **Added Type Hints:** Introduced `from typing import List, Union` to improve code clarity and provide IDE/linter support.
- **Enhanced Docstring:** Expanded the docstring to include detailed function descriptions, argument explanations, and return behavior.
- **Robust Return Handling:** Ensured the function explicitly returns `False` if no valid pair is found, improving clarity in edge cases.
- **Improved Output Structure:** Added a `__main__` block with structured output for cleaner and more informative result display.

### Rationale
These changes improve:
- **Readability:** Clearer variable names and enhanced documentation make the code easier to understand for future developers (and my future self).
- **Maintainability:** Improved structure provides a stronger foundation for future feature enhancements or modifications.
- **Compliance:** Aligns with Python's official best practices for formatting and style (PEP 8).
