+/**
+ * @file
+ * @brief Implements [Sub-set sum problem]
+ * (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subset_sum_problem) algorithm, which tells
+ * whether a subset with target sum exists or not.
+ *
+ * @details
+ * In this problem, we use dynamic programming to find if we can pull out a 
+ * subset from an array whose sum is equal to a given target sum. The overall 
+ * time complexity of the problem is O(n * targetSum) where n is the size of 
+ * the array. For example, array = [1, -10, 2, 31, -6], targetSum = -14. 
+ * Output: true => We can pick subset [-10, 2, -6] with sum as 
+ * (-10) + 2 + (-6) = -14.
