Added pairwise iteration algorithms
Could you please add the hacktoberfest label to this PR, if possible, please?
Describe your change:
Added a pairwise iteration algorithm. It will iterate over any iterable, yielding tuples that represent (iterable[i],iterable[i+1]). Second implementation allows specifying a step size. This algorithm can be useful for various domains, like:
- Iterating over frames of a video to track objects;
- Comparing the current word with the next to try to predict the next word;
- Comparing codons of a genetic sequence.
Couldn't find any wikipedia articles for this algorithm.
