Binary Indexed Tree (Fenwick Tree) and Segment Tree Explained

The Fenwick Tree, also called Binary Indexed Tree, is a data structure used to update elements and evaluate range queries in arrays. It differs from other similar data structures by using a method to arrange binary numbers in two dimensions.

BIT template C++
struct FenwickTree {
    vector<int> bit;  // binary indexed tree
    int n;

    FenwickTree(int n) {
        this->n = n;
        bit.assign(n, 0);
    }

    FenwickTree(vector<int> const &a) : FenwickTree(a.size()) {
        for (size_t i = 0; i < a.size(); i++)
            add(i, a[i]);
    }

    int sum(int r) {
        int ret = 0;
        for (; r >= 0; r = (r & (r + 1)) - 1)
            ret += bit[r];
        return ret;
    }

    int sum(int l, int r) {
        return sum(r) - sum(l - 1);
    }

    void add(int idx, int delta) {
        for (; idx < n; idx = idx | (idx + 1))
            bit[idx] += delta;
    }
};
