The idea is fairly straightforward: create an array accu that stores the accumulated sum fornums such that accu[i] = nums[0] + ... + nums[i] in the initializer of NumArray. Then just return accu[j + 1] - accu[i] in sumRange. You may try the example in the problem statement to convince yourself of this idea.
The code is as follows.
C++
class NumArray {
public:
NumArray(vector<int> &nums) {
accu.push_back();
for (int num : nums)
accu.push_back(accu.back() + num);
}
int sumRange(int i, int j) {
return accu[j + ] - accu[i];
}
private:
vector<int> accu;
};
// Your NumArray object will be instantiated and called as such:
// NumArray numArray(nums);
// numArray.sumRange(0, 1);
// numArray.sumRange(1, 2); Python
class NumArray(object):
def __init__(self, nums):
"""
initialize your data structure here.
:type nums: List[int]
"""
self.accu = [0]
for num in nums:
self.accu += self.accu[-1] + num, def sumRange(self, i, j):
"""
sum of elements nums[i..j], inclusive.
:type i: int
:type j: int
:rtype: int
"""
return self.accu[j + 1] - self.accu[i] # Your NumArray object will be instantiated and called as such:
# numArray = NumArray(nums)
# numArray.sumRange(0, 1)
# numArray.sumRange(1, 2)
