"""
Find the Equilibrium Index of an Array.
Reference: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/equilibrium-index-of-an-array/

Python doctest can be run with the following command:
python -m doctest -v equilibrium_index_in_array.py

Given a sequence arr[] of size n, this function returns
an equilibrium index (if any) or -1 if no equilibrium index exists.

The equilibrium index of an array is an index such that the sum of
elements at lower indexes is equal to the sum of elements at higher indexes.
Reference:
https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/equilibrium-index-of-an-array

Python doctest can be run with:

python -m doctest -v equilibrium_index_in_array.py

Example Input:
arr = [-7, 1, 5, 2, -4, 3, 0]
Output: 3
Given an array arr of size n, return an equilibrium index
if one exists; otherwise return -1.

An equilibrium index is an index where the sum of all
elements to the left equals the sum of all elements
to the right.

def equilibrium_index(arr: list[int]) -> int:
"""
Find the equilibrium index of an array.

Find the first equilibrium index of an array.
Args:
arr (list[int]): The input array of integers.

arr: The input array of integers.
Returns:
int: The equilibrium index or -1 if no equilibrium index exists.

The first equilibrium index, or -1 if none exists.
Examples:
>>> equilibrium_index([])
-1
>>> equilibrium_index([5])
0
>>> equilibrium_index([-7, 1, 5, 2, -4, 3, 0])
3
>>> equilibrium_index([2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 3])
-1
>>> equilibrium_index([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
-1
>>> equilibrium_index([1, 1, 1, 1, 1])
2
>>> equilibrium_index([2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 3])
-1
>>> equilibrium_index([0, 0, 0])
0
>>> equilibrium_index([-1, -1, -1])
1
>>> equilibrium_index([1, -1, 0])
2

Time Complexity:
O(n), where n is the length of the array.

Space Complexity:
O(1), using only constant extra space.
