Flashlight

Package currently in development, you can use it, but it's hard for now

project not related to similarly named flashlight. The name was coincidental and chosen independently.

Already done

Neural network structure
forward propagation
cost
BACKPROP IS WORKING!!! (dont ask for math. I kinda did something using the explanation written in txt file in repo. Its not entirely correct, but a concept is there)

To do

easier usage
f64 and f128 support(if I will try to do a more acurate calculator)
saving and loading the model

Additional info

Don't use that for creating calculator. I tried, and you can see it in main.rs in repo, and a small difference in output genereta a big difference in real number, like expected = 0.7310586 = 100, output = 0.731054 = 43

Why the name "Flashlight"

Before I decided on the name, I wanted to use some mythology reference, because I assumed that the "Torch" library based its name on Prometheus myth, but it didn't click.

Some time after that, I thought to myself "Why base the name on some mythical meaning of stuff, when I can refer to them literally.", and that's when I came up with three name ideas for project: "Lamp", "Bulb" and "Flashlight", and well... I decided on "Flashlight" because It sounded the goofiest of them all.

Sure, I could've tried to justify it with something like, "Flashlight is written in Rust and Torch is written In C, so Flashlight is safer, like how flashlights are safer than torches..." but I would be lying if I did. I decided on that name because it was funny, and I didn’t think it would actually fit the project — but here we are.

I hope you had a good time reading this short personal story. I just rly wanted to include that in the readme, so deal with it.
