Poem

🐇
Two functions now reverse with care,
Testing strings from here to there.
Pytest joins the bunny’s quest,
To make sure code withstands each test.
With Unicode and edge-case cheer,
The rabbit hops—no bugs to fear!

1-1: Consider pinning to a specific version of pytest

While adding pytest is good for testing, it's a best practice to specify a version to ensure reproducibility across environments.

-pytest
+pytest==7.4.0  # or whichever latest stable version you've tested with
tests/test_string_reversal.py (2)

28-37: Consider using pytest's parametrize for invalid input tests.

While your current approach for testing invalid inputs is thorough, you could make the tests more maintainable by using pytest's parametrize feature.

-def test_invalid_input_type():
-    """Test that a TypeError is raised for non-string inputs."""
-    with pytest.raises(TypeError, match="Input must be a string"):
-        reverse_string(12345)
-    
-    with pytest.raises(TypeError, match="Input must be a string"):
-        reverse_string(None)
-    
-    with pytest.raises(TypeError, match="Input must be a string"):
-        reverse_string(["hello"])
+@pytest.mark.parametrize("invalid_input", [
+    12345,
+    None,
+    ["hello"]
+])
+def test_invalid_input_type(invalid_input):
+    """Test that a TypeError is raised for non-string inputs."""
+    with pytest.raises(TypeError, match="Input must be a string"):
+        reverse_string(invalid_input)

1-37: Consider adding tests for additional edge cases.

Your test suite is already comprehensive, but you might consider adding tests for:

  1. Very long strings to verify performance
  2. Strings with escape characters
  3. Strings with control characters

1-24: Well-implemented string reversal function with good documentation

The implementation is correct and includes proper input validation with a clear error message. The docstring is comprehensive, covering arguments, return values, and exceptions.

For extremely large strings, consider this slight optimization for memory efficiency:

-    # Use list to manually reverse the string
-    reversed_chars = []
-    for i in range(len(input_string) - 1, -1, -1):
-        reversed_chars.append(input_string[i])
-    
-    # Convert list back to string
-    return ''.join(reversed_chars)
+    # More memory-efficient for very large strings
+    return ''.join(input_string[i] for i in range(len(input_string) - 1, -1, -1))
tests/test_string_utils.py (1)

1-38: Comprehensive test suite with good coverage

The tests cover a wide range of scenarios including basic functionality, edge cases, and error handling. Well structured with clear test names and descriptions.

Consider adding two more test cases:

  1. Very long strings to test performance with large inputs
  2. Strings with various whitespace characters (tabs, newlines)
def test_reverse_string_long():
    """Test reversal of a very long string."""
    long_string = "a" * 10000
    assert reverse_string(long_string) == long_string  # Palindrome

def test_reverse_string_whitespace():
    """Test reversal of strings with various whitespace."""
    assert reverse_string("hello\tworld\n") == "\ndlrow\tolleh"
src/string_reversal.py (1)

1-30: Well-implemented in-place string reversal with thorough documentation

The implementation using character swapping is efficient and includes proper input validation. The docstring clearly explains the function's purpose, parameters, return value, and exceptions.

tests/test_string_reversal.py (7)

1-3: Good setup and imports.

The imports are clear and concise, properly setting up pytest and importing the function under test.


4-7: LGTM! Good basic test case.

The test for standard string reversal provides a clear baseline case and verifies core functionality.


8-11: Good edge case testing for empty strings.

Testing empty string handling is important for string manipulation functions. This ensures the function behaves correctly for this edge case.


12-15: Great palindrome test case.

Testing with palindromes is a smart way to verify the function's correctness since the input and output should be identical.


16-19: Good test for strings with spaces.

This verifies that whitespace characters are handled correctly during reversal.


20-23: Thorough testing with special characters.

This test ensures the function correctly handles non-alphanumeric characters during reversal.


24-27: Excellent Unicode character testing.

Testing with non-ASCII characters is critical for robust string functions. This ensures the function works correctly with multi-byte Unicode characters.

Note about duplicate functionality

This function provides the same functionality as reverse_string in string_utils.py but with a different implementation. Consider:

  1. Merging into a single utility module, or
  2. Renaming one function to clarify the implementation difference (e.g., reverse_string_swap vs reverse_string_iterate)

🏁 Script executed:

#!/bin/bash
# Check for other files that import these reverse_string functions
echo "Files importing string_utils.reverse_string:"
rg -l "from src.string_utils import reverse_string" --type py || echo "No imports found"

echo "Files importing string_reversal.reverse_string:"
rg -l "from src.string_reversal import reverse_string" --type py || echo "No imports found"

Length of output: 391


Consolidate duplicate reverse_string implementations

You currently have two equivalent functions:

  • src/string_utils.pyreverse_string (imported by tests/test_string_utils.py)
  • src/string_reversal.pyreverse_string (imported by tests/test_string_reversal.py)

Both provide identical behavior. To reduce duplication and simplify maintenance, choose one of the following:

• Merge into a single implementation (e.g. keep it in src/string_utils.py) and update both test files to import from that module.
• Rename one of the functions to clarify its approach (for example, reverse_string_swap vs. reverse_string_iterative) and update its test accordingly.

Please update the implementation and adjust imports in:

  • src/string_utils.py
  • src/string_reversal.py
  • tests/test_string_utils.py
  • tests/test_string_reversal.py
