Prefix Sum Array

/**
 * @file
 * @brief
 * [Prefix Sum
 * Array](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prefix_sum) data structure
 * implementation.
 *
 * @details
 * Prefix Sum Array is a data structure, that allows answering sum in some range
 * queries. It can answer most sum range queries in O(1), with a build time
 * complexity of O(N). But it hasn't an update querie.
 *
 * * Running Time Complexity \n
 * * Build : O(N) \n
 * * Range Query : O(1) \n
