Cumulative Partial Sums and Prefix Sum Computation

Building a running total over a sequence so that the value at each index is available from the previous one by a single addition. Prefix sums turn a repeated summation into a single traversal and are the standard basis for sequential, low-memory evaluation of accumulated quantities.
