easyArraysPattern: Prefix Sum

Range Sum Query Using Prefix Sum Solution

Problem Statement

You are given an array of integers `points` representing the points scored by a team in each match. Implement a function to calculate the total points scored by the team in a given range of matches `[left, right]`. Use the prefix sum technique to efficiently compute the cumulative sum of points scored up to each match.

Constraints

  • The number of matches played by the team does not exceed 10^5.
  • The points scored by the team in each match do not exceed 10^4.
  • The range of matches is always valid and within the bounds of the array of points scored.
  • The input array is non-empty and contains at least one element.
