Enhance Core Utility Functions: Robust Data Transformation and Parsing Utilities

Description

Summary of Work

This pull request consolidates improvements to our core utility functions, focusing on enhancing robustness, error handling, and versatility across multiple data manipulation modules.

The changes aim to provide more reliable and flexible utility functions that can handle complex input scenarios while maintaining clean, efficient implementations. By standardizing error handling and expanding test coverage, we've improved the overall quality and predictability of our utility library.

Changes Made

Functional Improvements:

• Array Flattening: Enhanced nested array handling with improved recursion and type checking
• Binary Search: Optimized search algorithm with comprehensive edge case management
• RGB to Hex Conversion: Added robust input validation and type conversion support
• String Reversal: Implemented unicode and special character handling
• URL Parsing: Expanded parsing capabilities for complex URL structures

Architectural Enhancements:

• Consistent error handling approach across modules
• Improved input type checking and validation
• Modular design supporting diverse input scenarios
• Performance-conscious implementation strategies

Tests and Verification

Comprehensive Test Coverage:

• 30 total test cases spanning all utility functions
• Verified handling of normal, edge, and error cases
• 100% test pass rate across all modules
• Tested scenarios include:
  • Empty inputs
  • Nested/complex data structures
  • Invalid input types
  • Unicode and special character handling
  • Performance and edge case validation

Verification Approach:

• Full pytest suite execution
• Manual review of test case implementations
• Systematic coverage of potential input variations
