Great hands-on practice with API integration, caching, and input validation. Learned to write clean, testable code with proper error handling and comprehensive documentation.

It was a question that was relevant to real life. (I didn't read the instructions completely, which is why I had trouble. When I reread it, I wrote the cache part completely, and it worked.)
