Python Learning Journey: Dependable Code & FastAPI

Day 6 of my Python learning journey: Focusing on writing code that's not just functional, but also dependable. Highlights from today: - Warmed up by practicing iterators and generators. - Solved the "First Non-Repeating Character" problem using a clean two-pass frequency approach with O(n) complexity. - Merged two sorted arrays efficiently through the two-pointer technique (O(n + m))—avoiding any redundant sorting. - Developed a FastAPI endpoint for the above problem, complete with schema validation. Observations: Initially, I attempted a one-pass solution for the non-repeating character problem, but it ended up feeling convoluted. Switching to a two-pass strategy made the solution much more straightforward and maintainable. Current focus areas: - Maintaining input order integrity. - Performing input validation early on. - Keeping logic as simple as possible. - Thoroughly testing edge cases beforehand. Major takeaway: Define inputs/outputs upfront → validate data early → then prioritize optimization. Starting to grasp how even minor design decisions can significantly impact code quality.
