💡 What:

  • Replaced an O(N*M) nested loop in get_all_exercises with an O(N) hash map lookup by precomputing solutions_by_exercise to map exercise_label to the corresponding solution.
  • Fixed extract_from_file to properly cache extraction results. Previously, the method returned the dictionary prematurely, bypassing the caching logic entirely. It now assigns the dictionary to a local result variable and returns it after updating the cache.

🎯 Why:

  • The nested loop in get_all_exercises causes severe performance degradation when processing materials with a large number of exercises and solutions.
  • The bypassed caching logic meant files were repeatedly parsed when extract_from_file was called, increasing I/O operations and computation overhead unnecessarily.

📊 Impact:

  • get_all_exercises time complexity is reduced from O(N*M) to O(N).
  • Parsing overhead is reduced as caching for extracted materials actually functions as originally intended.

🔬 Measurement:

  • Tested a dummy set of 100 materials, each with 100 exercises and solutions: original nested loop took ~0.075s, optimized hash map look took ~0.013s (~5.7x faster).

…tor.py

- Optimized get_all_exercises by replacing O(N*M) nested loops with an O(N) hash map lookup, precomputing `solutions_by_exercise`.
- Fixed a bug in `extract_from_file` where caching logic was bypassed due to premature return of the extracted dict. Now it correctly assigns to `result`, caching it and returning `result`.

Pull request overview

This PR improves MaterialExtractor performance and correctness by enabling caching in extract_from_file and optimizing solution lookup in get_all_exercises.

Changes:

  • Fixed extract_from_file to build a result object and return it only after updating _file_cache.
  • Optimized get_all_exercises by precomputing a per-material solutions_by_exercise dict to avoid O(N*M) matching.
  • Normalized formatting/whitespace in material_extractor.py (diff-wide reflow).
