leetCode#303. Range Sum Query - Immutable

Description

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.

Code

class NumArray(object):

    nums = {}

    def __init__(self, nums):
        """
        :type nums: List[int]
        """
        if nums != []:
            self.nums[0] = nums[0]
            for idx, i in enumerate(nums[1:]):
                self.nums[idx + 1] = self.nums[idx] + i

    def sumRange(self, i, j):
        """
        :type i: int
        :type j: int
        :rtype: int
        """
        if i == 0:
            return self.nums[j]
        return self.nums[j] - self.nums[i - 1]



# Your NumArray object will be instantiated and called as such:
# obj = NumArray(nums)
# param_1 = obj.sumRange(i,j)

还有一种偷懒的写法：

class NumArray(object):

    def __init__(self, nums):
        """
        :type nums: List[int]
        """
        self.nums = [0]
        for i in nums:
            self.nums += [self.nums[-1] + i]

    def sumRange(self, i, j):
        """
        :type i: int
        :type j: int
        :rtype: int
        """
        return self.nums[j + 1] - self.nums[i]



# Your NumArray object will be instantiated and called as such:
# obj = NumArray(nums)
# param_1 = obj.sumRange(i,j)

在nums的最前面加了个0，这样1.省的init的时候判断nums是否为空；2.return的时候不用判断i是否为0.
同时学到了两个知识点：

1. python中对象的属性直接用就行了，不用提前声明.
2. self.nums += [self.nums[-1] + i] 等同于 self.nums += self.nums[-1] + i,，注意末尾的逗号。理论上这个逗号的作用是将数字转换成了tuple型，然而list和tuple是没法相加的，但是这里不知道进行了何种操作，反正就是加上了，而且self.nums还是list型
