Balanced Sums

Given an array of integers, find the index of the element that splits the array into two parts with equal sum. If no such index exists, return -1. Input: The first line contains an integer n (1 <= n <= 10^5), the length of the array. The second line contains n space-separated integers, the elements of the array. Output: Return the index of the element that, if removed, causes the sum of the remaining elements to be equal on both sides. If no such index exists, return -1. Example: Input: 5 1 2 3 3 2 Output: 2
