Student Utility Library

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.

🎯 Project Goals

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

  3. Run tests to verify setup: 
    python -m pytest tests/

🤝 Contributing

We welcome contributions from students! Here's how to get started:

  1. Choose a function to implement: Look for functions marked as # TODO: Implement this function
  2. Read the docstring: Each function has detailed documentation explaining what it should do
  3. Implement the function: Follow the specifications in the comments
  4. Write tests: Add unit tests for your implementation
  5. Test your code: Ensure all tests pass
  6. Submit your contribution: Create a pull request

Guidelines

  • 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
