Segment Trees in C
A Segment Tree is a data structure that stores information about a range of elements in its nodes. It is mostly used to handle range queries with updates in an efficient manner. For example, we can perform a range summation of an array between the range L to R while also modifying the array from range L to R all in log (N) time complexity
The tree is built recursively by dividing the array into segments until each segment represents a single element. This structure enables fast query and update operations with a time complexity of O (log n), making it a powerful tool in algorithm design and optimization.
Segment Tree in C
A Segment Tree is a data structure in C that helps us quickly perform operations (like finding the sum, minimum, or maximum) on a range of elements in an array. It’s like a tree that stores information about parts of the array in each node.
In this article, we will learn what are segement trees, how they work and how to implement them in C language.
