//! Contains our central error enum for easy error propagation.
//!
//! This module contains this crate's error enum. This enum can hold all sorts
//! of errors occurring in this crate s.t. error propagation is simple for
//! developers of this crate and all sorts of thrown errors and error types can
//! be easily found and accessed by developers using this crate. Furthermore,
//! the actual errors are wrapped s.t. all information about the error can be
//! unwrapped again.

// **For developers:**
// - How to add an error to an `enum`? First of all, find a name
//   that is not too specific for your current case s.t. it could be used in other
//   contexts afterwards as well. Then, find the spot according to your chosen error
//   name in a alphanumerically sorted way in the list of supported errors in the doc
//   comment and inside the `enum` itself.
//   Afterwards, add the error to the list of implemented error
//   types in the doc comment of the `enum` with a short description when it is thrown.
//   Probably use this description for the doc comment above the implementation of
//   error in the `enum`. Then, add `#[error(<error msg>)]` to define the error message
//   output once your error is thrown. Below, write down `<error name>(<input>),` to
//   define the error with its name and possibly some inputs. The input can be of the
//   form [`String`], but also another error, whose conversion must be declared via
//   `#[from] OtherError`. It is best to use the existing structure as a guide. For any
//   further information, check out the here used [`thiserror`]-crate.

/// [`MathError`] defines this crate's error enum, which can hold all sorts of
/// errors occurring in this crate.
///
/// Implemented error types:
/// - [`ConversionError`](MathError::ConversionError) is thrown if a conversion
///   between types is not possible.
/// - [`DivisionByZeroError`](MathError::DivisionByZeroError) is thrown if it is
///   tried to perform a division by `0`.
/// - [`InvalidExponent`](MathError::InvalidExponent) is thrown if an invalid
///   exponent is used for a `pow` function.
/// - [`InvalidIntegerInput`](MathError::InvalidIntegerInput) is thrown if an
///   integer input is provided as parameter that does not meet the conditions
///   of that function.
/// - [`InvalidInterval`](MathError::InvalidInterval) is thrown if an invalid
///   interval, e.g. of negative size, is provided.
/// - [`InvalidModulus`](MathError::InvalidModulus) is thrown if an integer is
///   provided, which is smaller than `2`.
/// - [`NulError`](MathError::NulError) is thrown if a [`NulError`] is thrown,
///   which currently only happens if an invalid string is given to construct
///   a [`CString`](std::ffi::CString).
/// - [`MismatchingMatrixDimension`](MathError::MismatchingMatrixDimension) is
///   thrown if arithmetic is done with matrices of mismatching dimensions.
/// - [`MismatchingModulus`](MathError::MismatchingModulus) is thrown if any
///   function is called on two objects with different modulus where equal
///   modulus is required.
/// - [`NonPositive`](MathError::NonPositive) is thrown if the function expects
///   a positive number, but a number smaller than `1` is provided.
/// - [`NoSquareMatrix`](MathError::NoSquareMatrix) is thrown if a matrix is
///   not square.
/// - [`OutOfBounds`](MathError::OutOfBounds) is thrown if a provided index
///   is not in a desired range.
/// - [`VectorFunctionCalledOnNonVector`](MathError::VectorFunctionCalledOnNonVector)
///   is thrown if a function defined on vectors was called on a matrix instance
///   that is not a vector.
///
