"""
Deutsch-Josza Algorithm is one of the first examples of a quantum
algorithm that is exponentially faster than any possible deterministic
classical algorithm
Premise:
We are given a hidden Boolean function f,
which takes as input a string of bits, and returns either 0 or 1:
f({x0,x1,x2,...}) -> 0 or 1, where xn is 0 or 1
The property of the given Boolean function is that it is guaranteed to
either be balanced or constant. A constant function returns all 0's
or all 1's for any input, while a balanced function returns 0's for
exactly half of all inputs and 1's for the other half. Our task is to
determine whether the given function is balanced or constant.
