//! Rolling Interquartile Range (IQR) over a trailing window.

use std::collections::VecDeque;

use crate::error::{Error, Result};
use crate::indicators::rolling_quantile::quantile_sorted;
use crate::traits::Indicator;

/// Interquartile Range of the last `period` values: `Q3 − Q1`.
///
/// ```text
/// IQR = quantile(0.75) − quantile(0.25)
/// ```
///
/// The IQR is the width of the central 50% of the window — the spread between
/// the third and first quartiles. It is a robust dispersion measure: unlike the
/// standard deviation it ignores the extreme tails entirely, so a single spike
/// barely moves it. That makes it the natural scale for outlier rules (the
/// classic *Tukey fence* flags points more than `1.5 · IQR` beyond a quartile)
/// and for volatility-regime splits that must not be dominated by one shock.
///
/// Both quartiles use the type-7 / NumPy-default linearly-interpolated
/// definition, identical to [`RollingQuantile`](crate::RollingQuantile). Each
/// `update` is O(period log period): the window is copied into a scratch buffer
/// and sorted once.
///
/// # Example
///
/// ```
/// use wickra_core::{Indicator, RollingIqr};
///
/// let mut indicator = RollingIqr::new(20).unwrap();
/// let mut last = None;
/// for i in 0..40 {
///     last = indicator.update(100.0 + f64::from(i));
/// }
/// assert!(last.is_some());
/// ```
