Advent of Pull Requests Best Practice - Day 21

Following up on our previous discussion, here are additional aspects to consider when conducting pull request reviews, especially for contributions from less experienced developers:

• Loop Errors: Keep an eye out for typical loop errors, such as off-by-one mistakes, never-ending loops, or flawed exit conditions. An example is incorrect loop boundary settings, which might cause skipping elements or accessing elements beyond an array's limit.
• Memory Management Issues: In programming environments where memory is managed manually, be vigilant about potential memory leaks. This encompasses scenarios where allocated memory isn't released or when there are unnecessary long-term references to objects.
• Error Management and Special Cases: Make sure that the code adequately handles errors and accounts for unusual scenarios. A frequent mistake is failing to manage null or undefined values, which can lead to errors during execution.
