/**
 * This class provides a method to compute the rank of a matrix.
 * In linear algebra, the rank of a matrix is the maximum number of linearly independent rows or columns in the matrix.
 * For example, consider the following 3x3 matrix:
 * 1 2 3
 * 2 4 6
 * 3 6 9
 * Despite having 3 rows and 3 columns, this matrix only has a rank of 1 because all rows (and columns) are multiples of each other.
 * It's a fundamental concept that gives key insights into the structure of the matrix.
 * It's important to note that the rank is not only defined for square matrices but for any m x n matrix.
