Given a list of integers, return a new list where each element at index i is the sum of all elements from index 0 to i (inclusive) from the original list. This is also known as a prefix sum or cumulative sum. If the input is null, return null. If the input is empty, return an empty list.

Examples:

Input: nums = [1, 2, 3, 4] Output: [1, 3, 6, 10] Explanation: Running sum is calculated as [1, 1+2, 1+2+3, 1+2+3+4] = [1, 3, 6, 10] Input: nums = [5] Output: [5] Explanation: Single element list returns the same element Input: nums = [] Output: [] Explanation: Empty list returns empty list
