Solution: Range Sum Query - Immutable
Explore how to implement the NumArray class to efficiently calculate the sum of elements between given indices using a prefix sum array. Understand how this approach reduces repeated calculations, enabling constant time queries after a linear-time setup. This lesson helps you design custom data structures for handling multiple range sum queries effectively in C#.
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].
