Range Sum Query Immutable Problem & Solution

Given an integer array nums, handle multiple queries of the following type:

Calculate the sum of the elements of nums between indices left and right inclusive where left <= right.

Implement the NumArray class:

  • NumArray(int[] nums) Initializes the object with the integer array nums.
  • int sumRange(int left, int right) Returns the sum of the elements of nums between indices left and right inclusive (i.e. nums[left] + nums[left + 1] + ... + nums[right]).

See the range sum query immutable problem on LeetCode.

C++ Solution

#pragma GCC optimize("Ofast")
#pragma GCC optimization("unroll-loops")

static const int _=[](){ios::sync_with_stdio(false);cin.tie(nullptr);cout.tie(nullptr);return 0;}();

/**
 * Your NumArray object will be instantiated and called as such:
 * NumArray* obj = new NumArray(nums);
 * int param_1 = obj->sumRange(left,right);
 */
class NumArray {
public:
  NumArray(vector<int>& nums) {
    sums = vector<int>(nums.size() + 1, 0);
    for (int i = 0; i < nums.size(); ++i) {
      sums[i + 1] = sums[i] + nums[i];
    }
  }

  int sumRange(int left, int right) {
    return sums[right + 1] - sums[left];
  }

private:
  vector<int> sums;
};
