Solution: Range Sum Query - Immutable

Explore how to build a NumArray class that handles multiple sumRange queries efficiently by using a prefix sum array. Understand initializing the prefix sums and achieve constant time queries to optimize coding interview solutions.

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 nums between indices i and j (inclusive), where i <= 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 nums between indices i and j (inclusive), i.e., the sum of nums[i] + nums[i + 1] + ... + nums[j].

Constraints:

  • 11 \leq ...
