	// Extended Euclidean Algorithm
	ExtendedGcdResult result = ExtendedEuclideanAlgorithm.extendedGcd(30, 18);
	long inverse = ExtendedEuclideanAlgorithm.modularInverse(3, 7);

	// Enhanced Fenwick Tree
	FenwickTree tree = new FenwickTree(new int[]{1, 3, 5, 7, 9});
	int sum = tree.rangeQuery(1, 3); // Sum from index 1 to 3
	```

	## 🏆 Why This Contribution Stands Out

	1. 🎯 Addresses Real Issues: Fixes actual bugs in existing code

	/**
	* Fenwick Tree (Binary Indexed Tree) implementation.
	*
	* A Fenwick Tree is a data structure that can efficiently:
	* - Update elements in O(log n) time
	* - Calculate prefix sums in O(log n) time
	* - Use O(n) space
	*
	* This is particularly useful for problems requiring frequent updates and
	* range sum queries on an array.
	*
	* Key operations:
	* - update(index, delta): Add delta to the element at index
	* - query(index): Get sum of elements from 0 to index (inclusive)
	* - rangeQuery(left, right): Get sum of elements from left to right (inclusive)
	*
	* Implementation details:
	* - Uses 1-indexed internally for easier bit manipulation
	* - Converts between 0-indexed (user) and 1-indexed (internal) as needed
	* - Utilizes bit manipulation for efficient parent/child navigation
	*
	* Time Complexity:
	* - Construction: O(n log n) or O(n) with optimized build
	* - Update: O(log n)
	* - Query: O(log n)
	* - Range Query: O(log n)
	*
	* Space Complexity: O(n)
	*
