*DAILY CHALLENGE* : Write a function that splits a given integer array into 2 arrays so that the sums of them are equal!

EXAMPLE 1: array = [1,3,2] arr1 = [1,2] = 3 arr2 = [3] = 3 ---> return [[1,2,],[3]] EXAMPLE 2: array = [2,7,3,1,2,1] arr1 = [1,7] = 8 arr2 = [3,2,1,2] = 8 ---> return [[1,7],[3,2,1,2]] EXAMPLE 3: array = [1,2,4] --> NOT POSSIBLE --> return empty array

Here is the pseudo polynomial time one using dynamic programming. Note that it looks polynomial but uses LOTS of memory so that the other versions will often be faster https://code.sololearn.com/c48gJx2v07hc/?ref=app

Here's my Python solution. The solution uses the Python itertools library - part of the builtin library. https://code.sololearn.com/c7CCEij0j58D

Here you go. Original array is randomly filled, so you're going to get a lot of Not possible output, but when the sum is equal, output is correct. https://code.sololearn.com/c7TC16350rAy/?ref=app

1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 4 doesn't work, ysraelcon. Is nothing, should be 1 + 1 + 2 + 4 = 8 3 + 5 = 8
