For an array, we can build a SegmentTree
for it, each node stores an extra attribute count
to denote the number of elements in the the array which value is between interval start and end. (The array may not fully filled by elements)
Design a query
method with three parameters root
, start
and end
, find the number of elements in the in array's interval [start, end] by the given root of value SegmentTree.
Example
For array [0, 2, 3]
, the corresponding value Segment Tree is:
[0, 3, count=3]
/ \
[0,1,count=1] [2,3,count=2]
/ \ / \
[0,0,count=1] [1,1,count=0] [2,2,count=1], [3,3,count=1]
query(1, 1)
, return 0
query(1, 2)
, return 1
query(2, 3)
, return 2
query(0, 2)
, return 2
