Summary

Refactored the two_sum function to enhance clarity, improve structure, and ensure compliance with Python best practices (PEP 8). This version prioritizes intuitive logic, robust error handling, and clear documentation.

Key Changes

  • Function Renaming: Renamed twoSum to two_sum to adhere to PEP 8 standards for function naming.
  • Improved Variable Naming: Replaced ambiguous names (chk_map, compl) with more intuitive identifiers (seen_values, complement).
  • Added Type Hints: Introduced from typing import List, Union to improve code clarity and provide IDE/linter support.
  • Enhanced Docstring: Expanded the docstring to include detailed function descriptions, argument explanations, and return behavior.
  • Robust Return Handling: Ensured the function explicitly returns False if no valid pair is found, improving clarity in edge cases.
  • Improved Output Structure: Added a __main__ block with structured output for cleaner and more informative result display.

Rationale

These changes improve:

  • Readability: Clearer variable names and enhanced documentation make the code easier to understand for future developers (and my future self).
  • Maintainability: Improved structure provides a stronger foundation for future feature enhancements or modifications.
  • Compliance: Aligns with Python's official best practices for formatting and style (PEP 8).

### Summary
Refactored the `two_sum` function to enhance clarity, improve structure, and ensure compliance with Python best practices (PEP 8). This version prioritizes intuitive logic, robust error handling, and clear documentation.

### Key Changes
- **Function Renaming:** Renamed `twoSum` to `two_sum` to adhere to PEP 8 standards for function naming.
- **Improved Variable Naming:** Replaced ambiguous names (`chk_map`, `compl`) with more intuitive identifiers (`seen_values`, `complement`).
- **Added Type Hints:** Introduced `from typing import List, Union` to improve code clarity and provide IDE/linter support.
- **Enhanced Docstring:** Expanded the docstring to include detailed function descriptions, argument explanations, and return behavior.
- **Robust Return Handling:** Ensured the function explicitly returns `False` if no valid pair is found, improving clarity in edge cases.
- **Improved Output Structure:** Added a `__main__` block with structured output for cleaner and more informative result display.

### Rationale
These changes improve:
- **Readability:** Clearer variable names and enhanced documentation make the code easier to understand for future developers (and my future self).
- **Maintainability:** Improved structure provides a stronger foundation for future feature enhancements or modifications.
- **Compliance:** Aligns with Python's official best practices for formatting and style (PEP 8).
