Relu

P
//Rust implementation of the ReLU (rectified linear unit) activation function.
//The formula for ReLU is quite simple really: (if x>0 -> x, else -> 0)
//More information on the concepts of ReLU can be found here:
//https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectifier_(neural_networks)

//The function below takes a reference to a mutable <f32> Vector as an argument
//and returns the vector with 'ReLU' applied to all values.
//Of course, these functions can be changed by the developer so that the input vector isn't manipulated.
//This is simply an implemenation of the formula.

pub fn relu(array: &mut Vec<f32>) -> &mut Vec<f32> {
    //note that these calculations are assuming the Vector values consists of real numbers in radians
    for value in &mut *array {
        if value <= &mut 0. {
            *value = 0.;
        }
    }
