Sum of Binomial Coefficient

/**
 * @file
 * @brief Algorithm to find sum of binomial coefficients of a given positive
 * integer.
 * @details Given a positive integer n, the task is to find the sum of binomial
 * coefficient i.e nC0 + nC1 + nC2 + ... + nCn-1 + nCn By induction, we can
 * prove that the sum is equal to 2^n
