/**
 * @file example_force_methods.cpp
 * @brief Comparison of different force calculation methods
 *
 * This example demonstrates the three force calculation algorithms:
 * - Direct N² (O(N²)): Exact calculation, suitable for small systems
 * - Barnes-Hut (O(N log N)): Approximate tree-based method
 * - Spatial Hash (O(N)): Efficient for short-range forces
 *
 * It shows how to switch between methods and compare their performance
 * and accuracy.
