+Algorithm: Reverse String
+Author: muannn
+Description:
+    This module implements a simple function to reverse an input string.
+    It is part of the TheAlgorithms/Python open-source collection.
+
+    The algorithm takes a string `s` as input and returns the reversed version.
+    It also handles edge cases such as empty strings and single-character inputs.
+
+Example:
+    >>> reverse_string("Hello")
+    'olleH'
+
+    >>> reverse_string("OpenAI")
+    'IAnepO'

+    Raises:
+        TypeError: If the input is not a string.
