|
|
|
||
|
|
When adding new functions or classes, please include a [Google-style docstring](https://google.github.io/styleguide/pyguide.html) to provide clear and concise documentation for other developers. This will help ensure that your contributions are easy to understand and maintain.

||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Example Google-style docstring:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```python
|
||
|
|
def example_function(arg1: int, arg2: str) -> bool:
|
||
|
|
"""Example function that demonstrates Google-style docstrings.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Args:
|
||
|
|
arg1 (int): The first argument.

||
|
|

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|

|
|
||
|
|
Raises:
|
||
|
|
ValueError: If `arg1` is negative or `arg2` is empty.
|
||
|
|
"""
|
||
|
|
if arg1 < 0 or not arg2:
|
||
|
|
raise ValueError("Invalid input values")
|
||
|
|
return True
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
