Prefix Sum

Description

You are given a positive integer n, indicating that we initially have an n x n 0-indexed integer matrix mat filled with zeroes.

You are also given a 2D integer array query. For each query[i] = [row1i, col1i, row2i, col2i], you should do the following operation:

  • Add 1 to every element in the submatrix with the top left corner (row1i, col1i) and the bottom right corner (row2i, col2i). That is, add 1 to mat[x][y] for all row1i <= x <= row2i and col1i <= y <= col2i.

Return the matrix mat after performing every query.

 

Example 1:

Input: n = 3, queries = [[1,1,2,2],[0,0,1,1]]
Output: [[1,1,0],[1,2,1],[0,1,1]]
Explanation: The diagram above shows the initial matrix, the matrix after the first query, and the matrix after the second query.
- In the first query, we add 1 to every element in the submatrix with the top left corner (1, 1) and bottom right corner (2, 2).
- In the second query, we add 1 to every element in the submatrix with the top left corner (0, 0) and bottom right corner (1, 1).

Example 2:

Input: n = 2, queries = [[0,0,1,1]]
Output: [[1,1],[1,1]]
Explanation: The diagram above shows the initial matrix and the matrix after the first query.
- In the first query we add 1 to every element in the matrix.

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= n <= 500
  • 1 <= queries.length <= 104
  • 0 <= row1i <= row2i < n
  • 0 <= col1i <= col2i < n

Hints

Hint 1
Imagine each row as a separate array. Instead of updating the whole submatrix together, we can use prefix sum to update each row separately.
Hint 2
For each query, iterate over the rows i in the range [row1, row2] and add 1 to prefix sum S[i][col1], and subtract 1 from S[i][col2 + 1].
Hint 3
After doing this operation for all the queries, update each row separately with S[i][j] = S[i][j] + S[i][j - 1].
