"""
This script demonstrates the implementation of the Sigmoid function.

The function takes a vector of K real numbers as input and then 1 / (1 + exp(-x)).
After through Sigmoid, the element of the vector mostly 0 between 1. or 1 between -1.

Script inspired from its corresponding Wikipedia article

    Implements the sigmoid function

    Parameters:
        vector (np.array): A  numpy array of shape (1,n)
        consisting of real values

    Returns:

        sigmoid.

    Examples:
    >>> sigmoid(np.array([-1.0, 1.0, 2.0]))
    array([0.26894142, 0.73105858, 0.88079708])
