Segment Tree Range Queries
Problem Support range aggregate queries — range sum, or range min/max — together with point or range updates over an array, both efficiently and interleaved arbitrarily.
Input / Output
- Input: an initial array of
nintegers, followed by a mix ofquery(l, r)andupdate(...)operations. - Output: the aggregate over
[l, r]for each query.
Constraints
- Array size and number of operations both up to 10^5, which rules out O(n) per query.
- Queries and updates interleave, so precomputing a prefix-sum array is not sufficient — every update would cost O(n) to rebuild.
Example
- Array
[1,3,5,7,9,11]:sum(1,3)=3+5+7=15. Thenupdate(index 2, value 10)→sum(1,3)=3+10+7=20. - Tricky case: a query spanning the whole array, or a single-element range
l == r, must both work without special-casing.
