// my solution to the sample codility problem for finding 
// any equilibrium index in an array of ints with up to
// 10 million entries. Description of problem is here:
// http://blog.codility.com/2011/03/solutions-for-task-equi.html

def solution(a: Array[Int]): Int = {
  var i = 0
  var current = BigInt(0)
  var remaining = BigInt(0)
  a.foreach { remaining += _ }
  var found = Option.empty[Int]
  while (i < a.size && found.isEmpty) {
    if (current == remaining - a(i)) {
      // found equilibrium
      found = Some(i)
    } else {
      current += a(i)
      remaining -= a(i)
      i += 1
    }
  }
  found.getOrElse(-1)
}

// sample runs:

scala> solution(Array(-7, 1, 5, 2, -4, 3, 0))
res37: Int = 3

scala> solution(Array(1,2,3,1,2))
res38: Int = 2

scala> solution(Array.fill(5000000)(1) ++ Array(100) ++ Array.fill(5000000)(1))
res39: Int = 5000000

a.foreach { remaining += _ }
better version:
remaining += a.sum
