Description

It is almost impossible to learn how to use SparseMatrix from the current documentation. The example code also isn't very useful. We need to improve the documentation and make it easier to grasp and include some real-world examples.

(Possibly related to #1166 and #1770?)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Review the current sparse matrix documentation and examples, then identify gaps. Create a step by step guide with real world use cases, covering creation, manipulation, and common operations. Ensure examples are runnable and clearly explained.
