| 2 | + |
| 3 | +You are going to be given an array of integers. Your job is to take that array and find an index N where the sum of the integers to the left of N is equal to the sum of the integers to the right of N. If there is no index that would make this happen, return `-1`. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +### For example: |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +Let's say you are given the array `{1,2,3,4,3,2,1}`: |
| 8 | +Your function will return the index `3`, because at the 3rd position of the array, the sum of left side of the index (`{1,2,3}`) and the sum of the right side of the index (`{3,2,1}`) both equal `6`. |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +Let's look at another one. |
| 11 | +You are given the array `{1,100,50,-51,1,1}`: |
| 12 | +Your function will return the index 1, because at the 1st position of the array, the sum of left side of the index (`{1}`) and the sum of the right side of the index (`{50,-51,1,1}`) both equal `1`. |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +### Last one: |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +You are given the array `{20,10,-80,10,10,15,35}` |
| 17 | +At index `0` the left side is `{}` |
| 18 | +The right side is `{10,-80,10,10,15,35}` |
| 19 | +They both are equal to 0 when added. (Empty arrays are equal to 0 in this problem) |
| 20 | +Index `0` is the place where the left side and right side are equal. |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +**Note:** Please remember that in most programming/scripting languages the index of an array starts at `0`. |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +### Input: |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +An integer array of length `0 < arr < 1000`. The numbers in the array can be any integer positive or negative. |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +### Output: |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +The lowest index N where the side to the left of N is equal to the side to the right of N. If you do not find an index that fits these rules, then you will return `-1`. |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +**Note:** |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +If you are given an array with multiple answers, return the lowest correct index. |
