Description

This function calculates the cosine similarity between two vectors, raising errors for mismatched lengths or zero-vectors. It includes doctests for validation.

Describe your change:

  • Add an algorithm?
  • Fix a bug or typo in an existing algorithm?
  • Add or change doctests?
  • Documentation change?
