The preprocessed prefix at index i stores // the sum of all elements before i. // // METHOD // Build prefix[i+1] = prefix[i] + a[i]. For inclusive bounds left and right, subtract // prefix[left] from prefix[right+1]. Build once and reuse the prefix for many queries in a // real application. // // COMPLEXITY // O(n) preprocessing and O(n) space; each query after preprocessing is O(1). This self- // contained function includes preprocessing on every call. // // CONTRACT // 0 <= left <= right < n. Returns the inclusive range sum. All prefix totals must fit. // Public APIs infer array lengths except in C, which accepts pointer/length pairs. Vertex // counts and matrix dimensions remain explicit. Arrays must contain signed 32-bit integers. // Sorted order, correct tree topology, and caller-owned data-structure invariants are // preconditions; checking them on every query would change query complexity. // Scalar and shape checks are included. Value-range checks are included where needed to // prevent invalid indexing or nontermination. Allocation sizes are capped at 4,000,000 // workspace entries. Arithmetic outside Python raises an error on 32-bit overflow; Python // uses arbitrary precision. Native allocation failures propagate. In-place outputs may be // partly updated after arithmetic failure. These are single-threaded, in-memory // implementations. // // LANGUAGE DETAILS // Node.js 18+: Int32Array inputs and workspaces provide compact integer storage. Automatic // lengths and checked arithmetic reject values outside signed 32-bit. Invalid inputs or // overflow throw RangeError. // // EXAMPLE // Expected return: 6. // Run: node example.js // Tests for this exact source artifact run before publication. The accompanying source // archive includes unit cases, runtime results, and source hashes. function alg_require(valid) { if (!valid) throw new RangeError("invalid algorithm input"); } function alg_checked(v) { if (!Number.isInteger(v) || v < -2147483648 || v > 2147483647) throw new RangeError("32-bit result overflow"); return v; } function alg_add(a,b) { return alg_checked(a+b); } function alg_sub(a,b) { return alg_checked(a-b); } function alg_mul(a,b) { return alg_checked(a*b); } function alg_size(n) { alg_require(Number.isInteger(n) && n>=0 && n<=4000000); return n; } function range_sum(a, left, right) { alg_require(a instanceof Int32Array); alg_require(Number.isInteger(left) && left >= -2147483648 && left <= 2147483647); alg_require(Number.isInteger(right) && right >= -2147483648 && right <= 2147483647); let n = a.length; alg_require(((n >= 0) && (n <= 1000000))); alg_require((a.length == n)); alg_require(((left >= 0) && (left <= right) && (right < n))); let prefix = new Int32Array(alg_size(alg_add(n, 1))); let i = 0; while ((i < n)) { prefix[alg_add(i, 1)] = alg_add(prefix[i], a[i]); i = alg_add(i, 1); } return alg_sub(prefix[alg_add(right, 1)], prefix[left]); } let a = new Int32Array([2, 4, -1, 3]); let left = 1; let right = 3; let result = range_sum(a, left, right); console.log(result); |
