//! # Hinge Loss
//!
//! The `hng_loss` function calculates the Hinge loss, which is a
//! loss function used for classification problems in machine learning.
//!
//! ## Formula
//!
//! For a pair of actual and predicted values, represented as vectors `y_true` and
//! `y_pred`, the Hinge loss is calculated as:
//!
//! - loss = `max(0, 1 - y_true * y_pred)`.
//!
//! It returns the average loss by dividing the `total_loss` by total no. of
//! elements.
//!
