/// Computes the value of the real spherical harmonic Y_l^m(θ, φ) function.
///
/// The spherical harmonics Y_l^m(θ, φ) form a complete orthogonal basis for functions
/// defined on the sphere. They appear extensively in solving three-dimensional
/// partial differential equations in spherical coordinates, especially in quantum physics.
///
/// This implementation returns the real form of the spherical harmonic, which is often
/// more convenient for practical applications.
///
/// # Arguments
///
/// * `l` - Degree (non-negative integer)
/// * `m` - Order (integer with |m| ≤ l)
/// * `theta` - Polar angle (in radians, 0 ≤ θ ≤ π)
/// * `phi` - Azimuthal angle (in radians, 0 ≤ φ < 2π)
///
/// # Returns
///
/// * Value of the real spherical harmonic Y_l^m(θ, φ)

/// # Examples
