/*! This crate implements summation algorithms that significantly reduce the numerical error in the total obtained by adding a sequence of finite-precision floating-point numbers, compared to the obvious approach.

# Algorithms

#### Exact addition

[`two_sum()`] and [`fast_two_sum()`] allow to compute the rounded addition of two floating-point numbers and the associated numerical error.

Both functions return a tuple `(s, t)` where `s` is the floating-point sum rounded to nearest and `t` is the floating-point error.

#### Compensated summation

[`KahanBabuska`] and [`KahanBabuskaNeumaier`] allow to compute compensated sums using the [Kahan-Babuška](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kahan_summation_algorithm#The_algorithm) and [Kahan-Babuška-Neumaier](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kahan_summation_algorithm#Further_enhancements) algorithms respectively.

Both types are generic over a parameter `T: num_traits::float::Float`, which is usually [`f32`] or [`f64`] and can typically be inferred.

They support addition and subtraction (also with assignment) of `T` and `&T`.
The estimated total sum (of type `T`) can be retrieved with a method called `total()`.

Both types also implement [`std::iter::Sum`], which means that iterators of floating-point numbers can be conveniently summed.

# Examples

An empty accumulator for the Kahan-Babuška-Neumaier algorithm can be created with [`KahanBabuskaNeumaier::new()`];
floating-point numbers can be added to it and also subtracted from it;
finally, the estimated total sum can be retrieved with the [`KahanBabuskaNeumaier::total()`] method.

```
use compensated_summation::KahanBabuskaNeumaier;
let mut sum = KahanBabuskaNeumaier::new();
sum += 0.1;
sum += 0.2;
sum -= 0.3;
assert_eq!(sum.total(), 0.0);
```

An iterator of floating-point numbers can be conveniently summed via its [`Iterator::sum()`] method, specifying the desired algorithm.

```
use compensated_summation::KahanBabuska;
let iter = [0.1; 10].iter();
assert_eq!(iter.sum::<KahanBabuska<_>>().total(), 1.0);
```
