"""
Implements the Exponential Linear Unit or ELU function.
The function takes a vector of K real numbers and a real number alpha as
input and then applies the ELU function to each element of the vector.

Implements the ELU activation function.
Parameters:
vector: the array containing input of elu activation
alpha: hyper-parameter
return:
elu (np.array): The input numpy array after applying elu.
Mathematically, f(x) = x, x>0 else (alpha * (e^x -1)), x<=0, alpha >=0
Examples:
>>> exponential_linear_unit(vector=np.array([2.3,0.6,-2,-3.8]), alpha=0.3)
