Given an integer array nums, find the sum of the elements between indices i and j (i ≤ j), inclusive.
Example:
Given nums = [-2, 0, 3, -5, 2, -1] sumRange(0, 2) -> 1 sumRange(2, 5) -> -1 sumRange(0, 5) -> -3
Note:
- You may assume that the array does not change.
- There are many calls to sumRange function.
根据题意,就是需要求list的给定[start, end]的区间的sum值。
题目提示为DP,创建一个新的result list作为memory空间,记录到某个index位置的之前全部数字的sum值。
即,result[0, 1, 2, 3] = result[ nums[0], nums[0] + nums[1], nums[0] + nums[1] + nums[2], nums[0] + nums[1] + nums[2] + nums[3]]
所以,需要求得sumRange(i, j) 的时候,就是需要result[j] - result[i], 即:result[0, ..., j] - result[0, ..., i] = result[ i+1, ... ,j], 但是因为包含i, j。所以,需要加上index = i位置的值。最终就是result[j] - result[i] + nums[i]

self.result.append(sum)

return self.result[j] - self.result[i] + self.nums[i]
