Program Structure
This is a mixed Rust and Python module.
The rust source code is used to implement the equations. This is a lower level language that requires compilation prior to being run -- and thus is many times faster than pure python.
The rust source code is located in the /src directory.
The python source is located in the /pyascvd directory.
Unit tests are implemented in the /tests directory using slash.
