Topic: Algorithms
Difficulty: Advanced

Problem

Write a solution for Algorithms Exercise #28:

Implement a function solve_algorithms_28(data) that processes the input according to algorithms concepts from the curriculum.

Example input: data = [algorithms_example_28]
Expected: A transformed result demonstrating algorithms skills.

Constraints

  • Use idiomatic Python 3.10+
  • Handle empty input gracefully
  • Do not mutate input unless specified

Hint

Hint

Review Algorithms exercises and the related chapter in the Learning Path. Consider edge cases: empty collections, None, zero, negative numbers.

Test Yourself 

  # Write tests before implementing
assert solve_algorithms_28([]) is not None  # define expected behavior
