Segment Trees are versatile data structures used for efficiently answering range queries and performing updates on an array.
- A Segment Tree is a versatile data structure used for handling various range-query problems efficiently.
- It allows for fast updates and queries on a static or dynamic array.
- The structure is particularly useful in scenarios where you need to find information about a range of elements in an array.
- A Segment Tree is a binary tree where each leaf node represents an element from the array, and each internal node represents a segment of the array (a range of elements). The root of the tree represents the entire array. Each internal node stores information (e.g., sum, minimum, maximum) about the corresponding segment.
I. TIPS & STRATEGIES FOR SOLVING SEGMENT TREE PROBLEMS:
1. Understand the Problem:
- Clearly understand the problem statement and the type of queries or updates that need to be performed on a range.
