Inverse Fast Fourier Transform

/**
 * @file
 * @brief [An inverse fast Fourier transform
 * (IFFT)](https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/python-inverse-fast-fourier-transformation/)
 * is an algorithm that computes the inverse fourier transform.
 * @details
 * This algorithm has an application in use case scenario where a user wants
 * find coefficients of a function in a short time by just using points
 * generated by DFT. Time complexity this algorithm computes the IDFT in
 * O(nlogn) time in comparison to traditional O(n^2).
