## Description
<section id='description'>
# --description--
Calculate the Shannon entropy H of a given input string.
Given the discreet random variable $X$ that is a string of $N$ "symbols" (total characters) consisting of $n$ different characters (n=2 for binary), the Shannon entropy of X in bits/symbol is:
$H_2(X) = -\sum_{i=1}^n \frac{count_i}{N} \log_2 \left(\frac{count_i}{N}\right)$
$H_2(X) = -\\sum\_{i=1}^n \\frac{count_i}{N} \\log_2 \\left(\\frac{count_i}{N}\\right)$
where $count_i$ is the count of character $n_i$.

`entropy` should be a function.
```js
assert(typeof entropy === 'function');
```

`entropy("0")` should return `0`
