// Iterative Segment Tree Point Assignment in Java
//
// PURPOSE
// A point assignment changes a leaf and recomputes only its ancestors.
//
// METHOD
// Write the new leaf value, move upward by dividing the index by two, and recompute each
// parent from its children.
//
// COMPLEXITY
// O(log n) time, O(1) auxiliary space.
//
// CONTRACT
// tree is an existing iterative sum tree of length 2*n; n>=1, 0<=index<n. Mutates tree;
// returns 0.
// 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
// Java 17+: primitive int arrays, Arrays.binarySearch for LIS, and Math exact arithmetic.
// Invalid input throws IllegalArgumentException; arithmetic overflow throws
// ArithmeticException.
//
// EXAMPLE
// Expected return: 0.
// Expected tree after call: [0, 17, 10, 7, 1, 9, 3, 4].
// Run: javac AlgorithmExample.java && java AlgorithmExample
// Tests for this exact source artifact run before publication. The accompanying source
// archive includes unit cases, runtime results, and source hashes.
