Solution: Range Sum Query - Immutable
Explore how to handle multiple range sum queries on an immutable array with optimal efficiency. This lesson teaches you to implement a prefix sum array, enabling constant time sum queries. You will understand constructor initialization, sumRange method, and analyze time and space complexities, preparing you for scalable data structure solutions.
We'll cover the following...
Statement
You are given an integer array, nums, and you need to handle multiple queries of the following type:
Query: Calculate the sum of elements in
numsbetween indicesiandj(inclusive), wherei <= j.
Implement the NumArray class to support the following operations efficiently:
Constructor: Initializes the object with the integer array
nums.sumRange(i, j): Returns the sum of the elements of
numsbetween indicesiandj(inclusive), i.e., the sum ofnums[i] + nums[i + 1] + ... + nums[j].
