//! CPC (Compressed Probabilistic Counting) Sketch - Most space-efficient cardinality estimator
//!
//! CPC is 30-40% more space-efficient than HyperLogLog for the same accuracy.
//! It achieves this through adaptive compression and multiple operational modes ("flavors").
//!
//! # Algorithm Overview
//!
//! CPC uses different representations as cardinality grows:
//! 1. **Empty**: No items observed yet
//! 2. **Sparse**: Few items, use HashMap for surprising values (space-efficient for low cardinality)
//! 3. **Hybrid**: Transitioning from sparse to dense
//! 4. **Pinned**: Dense uncompressed representation
//! 5. **Sliding**: Dense compressed representation (maximum space efficiency)
//!
//! The key innovation is that CPC adapts its representation based on the data,
//! using compression-friendly encodings in the Sliding mode.
//!
//! # References
//!
//! "CPC: Compressed Probabilistic Counting Sketch"
//! Apache DataSketches, 2017
//! https://datasketches.apache.org/docs/CPC/CPC.html
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! ```
//! use sketch_oxide::cardinality::CpcSketch;
//! use sketch_oxide::Sketch;
//!
//! let mut cpc = CpcSketch::new(11).unwrap();
//!
//! // Add items
//! for i in 0..10_000 {
//!     cpc.update(&i);
//! }
//!
//! // Estimate cardinality
//! let estimate = cpc.estimate();
//! println!("Estimated cardinality: {}", estimate);
//! // Should be close to 10,000 with ~1.5% error
//! ```
