A collaborative Python project designed for students to learn and contribute to open-source development. This library provides various utility functions across different domains including string manipulation, mathematics, data structures, algorithms, and file operations.
This project aims to:
- Provide hands-on experience with Python development
- Teach collaborative coding practices
- Introduce students to testing and documentation
- Build a comprehensive utility library through community contributions

We welcome contributions from students! Here's how to get started:
- Choose a function to implement: Look for functions marked as
# TODO: Implement this function - Read the docstring: Each function has detailed documentation explaining what it should do
- Implement the function: Follow the specifications in the comments
- Write tests: Add unit tests for your implementation
- Test your code: Ensure all tests pass
- Submit your contribution: Create a pull request
- Follow PEP 8 style guidelines
- Write clear, readable code with comments
- Include comprehensive docstrings
- Add type hints where appropriate
- Write unit tests for new functions
- Keep functions simple and focused
