Solution: Range Sum of Sorted Subarray Sums

Explore how to solve the range sum of sorted subarray sums problem by applying binary search and sliding window methods. This lesson helps you understand optimizing subarray sum calculations without explicit storage, improving efficiency for coding interviews.

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 ...
