"""
This script demonstrates the implementation of the Softmax function.
Its a function that takes as input a vector of K real numbers, and normalizes
it into a probability distribution consisting of K probabilities proportional
to the exponentials of the input numbers. After softmax, the elements of the
vector always sum up to 1.
Script inspired from its corresponding Wikipedia article
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Softmax_function

Implements the softmax function
Parameters:
vector (np.array,list,tuple): A numpy array of shape (1,n)
consisting of real values or a similar list,tuple
Returns:
softmax_vec (np.array): The input numpy array after applying
softmax.
The softmax vector adds up to one. We need to ceil to mitigate for
precision
>>> float(np.ceil(np.sum(softmax([1,2,3,4]))))
