 * @brief [A fast Fourier transform
 * (FFT)](https://medium.com/@aiswaryamathur/understanding-fast-fouriertransform-from-scratch-to-solve-polynomial-multiplication-8018d511162f)
 * is an algorithm that computes the
 * discrete Fourier transform (DFT) of a sequence, or its inverse (IDFT).
 * @details
 * This
 * algorithm has application in use case scenario where a user wants to find
 points of a
 * function
 * in a short time by just using the coefficients of the polynomial
 * function.
 * It can be also used to find inverse fourier transform by just switching the
 value of omega.
 * Time complexity
 * this algorithm computes the DFT in O(nlogn) time in comparison to traditional
 O(n^2).
