Solution: Range Sum Query - Immutable
Understand how to efficiently compute the sum of elements between two indices in an integer array using a prefix sum array. This lesson guides you through constructing a custom NumArray class that handles multiple range sum queries in constant time, optimizing performance for repeated sum calculations.
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].
