Implemented CRC-32 from scratch using the standard reflected polynomial (0xEDB88320) with a precomputed 256-entry lookup table. This is the same algorithm used in ZIP, PNG, gzip, and Ethernet frames.

  • No external dependencies -- pure Python lookup table approach
  • Doctests verified against zlib.crc32() to make sure the output is correct
  • Handles empty input and arbitrary binary data

Lookup-table based CRC-32 using the standard reflected polynomial.
Output verified against zlib.crc32() in doctests.
