Poem

🐇 I hopped through code with eager paws and glee,

Palindromes reflected back at me,
Subarrays danced and intervals took flight,
Tests nodded on a clear, moonlit night,
A carrot-coded patch — the warren sings with me.

182-182: Optional: Rephrase to improve readability.

Three successive sentences begin with "If", which slightly impacts flow. Consider rephrasing the third sentence.

🔎 Suggested rewording
-   - If the length of the reversedHalf is odd, then compare x == reversedHalf // 10 to ignoring the middle digit. If
-     it's a valid match, return TRUE.
+   - If the length of the reversedHalf is odd, then compare x == reversedHalf // 10 to ignore the middle digit. When
+     this condition holds, return TRUE.
pystrings/palindrome/__init__.py (1)

113-141: Simplify the return statement.

The if-else block at lines 138-141 can be condensed into a single return statement for better readability.

🔎 Proposed simplification
-    # If the number has even digits, check x == reversedHalf.
-    # If odd digits, the middle digit doesn't matter, so remove it using //10.
-    # If either of the above are True, return True. Otherwise, False
-    if x == reversed_half or x == reversed_half // 10:
-        return True
-    else:
-        return False
+    # If the number has even digits, check x == reversedHalf.
+    # If odd digits, the middle digit doesn't matter, so remove it using //10.
+    return x == reversed_half or x == reversed_half // 10

algorithms/prefix_sum/continous_sub_array_sum/test_check_subarray_sum.py (1)

1-24: LGTM! Well-structured test file.

The test file follows best practices with parameterized test cases covering various scenarios. The test structure is clean and appropriate for validating the check_subarray_sum function.

algorithms/prefix_sum/continous_sub_array_sum/README.md (1)

1-73: Documentation is clear and comprehensive.

The README provides excellent explanation of the problem, algorithm approach, and complexity analysis. The minor style suggestions from static analysis (hyphenation, wordiness) are purely optional improvements.

DIRECTORY.md (1)

132-134: Directory structure updated correctly.

The new entries for Prefix Sum algorithms are properly integrated into the directory listing. The markdown indentation hints from static analysis are minor formatting suggestions that don't impact functionality.

Also applies to: 256-257

algorithms/prefix_sum/continous_sub_array_sum/__init__.py (1)

18-26: Remainder checking logic is correct.

The logic for checking previously seen remainders and validating subarray length (≥ 2) is sound. This section will work correctly once the cumulative sum update issue is resolved.

pystrings/palindrome/README.md (1)

130-198: Well-documented algorithm with clear explanation.

The documentation thoroughly explains the palindrome number problem, including edge cases, algorithm steps, and complexity analysis. The explanation of the half-reversal optimization is particularly clear.

pystrings/palindrome/__init__.py (1)

144-164: LGTM! String-based approach is correct.

The two-pointer string comparison provides a clean alternative implementation. The edge case handling matches the mathematical approach, ensuring consistent behavior across both functions.

pystrings/palindrome/test_palindrome.py (2)

91-113: Excellent test coverage with parameterized approach.

The test cases comprehensively cover edge cases including negative numbers, trailing zeros, zero itself, and large palindromes. Using @parameterized.expand to test both implementations with identical cases ensures consistency.


6-6: Review the known limitation with pytest parameterized testing.

Version 0.9.0 is the latest stable release and correctly specified. However, note that pytest may display generic test indices (e.g., test_name[0]) instead of full parameter values when using parameterized, and there are several open GitHub issues related to edge cases (bytes as parameters, etc.). Verify that test output clarity is acceptable for this project.

algorithms/intervals/employee_free_time/interval.py (1)

1-19: Consider adding __hash__ method for hashability.

Defining __eq__ without __hash__ makes Interval objects unhashable, preventing their use in sets or as dictionary keys. While the current usage only involves lists, adding __hash__ is a Python best practice when __eq__ is defined.

🔎 Proposed implementation
    def __eq__(self, other: "Interval") -> bool:
        return self.start == other.start and self.end == other.end
+
+    def __hash__(self) -> int:
+        return hash((self.start, self.end))

Note: If you decide to include closed in __eq__, also include it in __hash__.

algorithms/intervals/employee_free_time/test_employee_free_time.py (1)

10-85: Consider adding edge case tests.

The current test cases cover typical scenarios well. Consider adding tests for edge cases such as:

  • Empty schedules list
  • Single employee with one or multiple intervals
  • Employees with no overlapping time (maximum free time)
  • Employees with completely overlapping schedules (no free time)
  • Schedules with adjacent but non-overlapping intervals

🔇 Additional comments (3)
algorithms/intervals/employee_free_time/interval.py (1)

18-19: Verify that ignoring closed in equality is intentional.

The __eq__ method compares only start and end attributes, ignoring the closed attribute. This means Interval(1, 2) with closed=True equals Interval(1, 2) with closed=False. If this is intentional (e.g., for domain-specific reasons), consider documenting this behavior. Otherwise, include closed in the comparison.

algorithms/intervals/employee_free_time/__init__.py (2)

39-56: Core algorithm logic is correct.

The gap detection and merging logic correctly identifies free time intervals by tracking latest_end and comparing it with each interval's start time.


85-114: Heap processing logic is correct.

The heap-based approach correctly maintains the earliest unprocessed interval at the top and properly tracks latest_end_time to identify gaps. The logic for pushing subsequent intervals from the same employee is also correct.
