- Update the element at a single position (point).
- Query the sum of some consecutive subarray.
Both segment trees and binary indexed trees can accomplish this.
Segment Tree
A segment tree allows you to do point update and range query in time each for any associative operation, not just summation.

You can skip more advanced applications such as lazy propagation for now. They will be covered in platinum.

Dynamic Range Minimum Queries
Focus Problem – try your best to solve this problem before continuing!
Recursive Implementation
Time Complexity:
#include <algorithm>#include <iostream>#include <limits>#include <vector>using std::cout;using std::endl;using std::vector;/** A data structure that can answer point update & range min queries. */
Iterative Implementation
Though less extensible, this implementation is shorter and has a better constant factor. The ranges it operates on are also end-exclusive, unlike the previous one which is end-inclusive.
Time Complexity:
#include <algorithm>#include <iostream>#include <limits>#include <vector>using std::cout;using std::endl;using std::vector;template <class T> class MinSegmentTree {
Dynamic Range Sum Queries
Focus Problem – try your best to solve this problem before continuing!
Recursive Implementation
Time Complexity:
Compared to the previous implementation, all we need to change are DEFAULT
and how we combine the elements.

Iterative Implementation
Time Complexity:

Binary Indexed Tree
The implementation is shorter than segment tree, but maybe more confusing at first glance.

Dynamic Range Sum Queries
Implementation
#include <cassert>#include <iostream>#include <vector>using std::cout;using std::endl;using std::vector;/*** Short for "binary indexed tree",
-th Element
Finding theSuppose that we want a data structure that supports all the operations as a
set
in C++ in addition to the following:
order_of_key(x)
: counts the number of elements in the set that are strictly less thanx
.find_by_order(k)
: similar tofind
, returns the iterator corresponding to thek
-th lowest element in the set (0-indexed).
Order Statistic Tree
Luckily, such a built-in data structure already exists in C++. However, it's only supported on GCC, so Clang users are out of luck.

With a BIT
However, if all updates are in the range , we can do the same thing with a BIT.

With a Segment Tree
Covered in Platinum.
Inversion Counting
Focus Problem – try your best to solve this problem before continuing!
Implementation
Using an indexed set, we can solve this in just a few lines.
#include <bits/stdc++.h>using namespace std;#include <ext/pb_ds/assoc_container.hpp>using namespace __gnu_pbds;template <class T>using Tree =tree<T, null_type, less<T>, rb_tree_tag, tree_order_statistics_node_update>;int main() {
Note that if it were not the case that all elements of the input array were
distinct, then this code would be incorrect since Tree<int>
would remove
duplicates. Instead, we would use an indexed set of pairs
(Tree<pair<int,int>>
), where the first element of each pair would denote the
value while the second would denote the position of the value in the array.
Problems
Coordinate Compression
If the coordinates are large (say, up to ), then you should apply coordinate compression before using a BIT or segment tree (though sparse segment trees do exist).
