Solution: Range Sum of Sorted Subarray Sums

Explore how to calculate the sum of elements in a sorted array of subarray sums from a given range using binary search and sliding window methods. Understand the optimization over brute-force approaches and learn to handle large inputs efficiently by leveraging sorting, counting, and sum calculation techniques.

Statement

You are given an integer array nums containing nn positive integers along with left and right. Calculate the sum of its elements for every non-empty continuous subarray of nums. Collect these sums into a new array and sort it in nondecreasing order. This will result in a new array of size n×(n+1)/2n \times (n + 1) /2.

Your task is to return the sum of the elements in this sorted array from the index left to right (inclusive with 1-based indexing).

Note: As the result can be large, return the sum modulo 109+710^9 + 7.

Constraints:

  • n=n = nums.length

  • 11 \leq nums.length 1000\leq 1000

  • 11 \leq nums[i] ...
