Pure Rust Special function library
Documentation
//! This module provides utility functions used throughout the library.
//!
//! It includes the following main functions:
//! - `factorial`: Calculates the factorial of a non-negative integer.
//! - `rising_factorial`: Computes the rising factorial (also known as Pochhammer function).
//! - `frexp`: Decomposes a floating-point number into its mantissa and exponent.
//! - `ldexp`: Multiplies a floating-point number by a power of two.
//! - `sign`: Returns a value with the magnitude of one argument and the sign of another.
//!
//! These utility functions are primarily used internally by other functions in the library,
//! but they may also be useful for users who need to perform similar calculations.
