Prefix sum

CodingAlgorithms & data structuresEntry–Mid~8 min

Given a list of integers nums, return its running (prefix) sum: a list of the same length where result[i] equals the sum of nums[0..i] inclusive. For example [1, 2, 3, 4] becomes [1, 3, 6, 10]. The list may be empty (return []).

Implement
running_sum(nums: list[int]) → list[int]
Examples
in[[1,2,3,4]]out[1,3,6,10]
What a strong answer looks like

State your approach and its time/space complexity out loud before you optimize. Handle the edge cases (empty input, duplicates, overflow), and say why you chose this over the brute force. Green tests are the floor, not the grade.
