The resultant of two vectors, calculated by adding respective components of each vector is called vector sum.

main():
1. Allocate space for 3 vectors A, X, Y (of length 2000000).
2. Define vectors X and Y (A = X + Y will be computed).
3. Calculate expected value for varifying results.
4. Run vector sum on with various approaches.
5. Free vectors A, X, Y.
