Problem Understanding

We are given a sequence of cells numbered from 1 to n. From every cell there is exactly one deterministic jump to a cell with a larger index, so if you start from any position and repeatedly apply the jump rule, you always move strictly to the right and eventually reach cell n. This structure guarantees that from 1 to n there is a single well-defined path.

Each cell also has an associated cost, and the cost of a journey is defined as the sum of costs of all visited cells along this unique path, with a minor convention about whether the starting cell is included or not. The exact rule does not affect the main idea, since we can adjust the initial addition separately.

The input supports updates: the jump rule of a single cell changes, meaning the outgoing edge from that position is modified. After each update, we must recompute the cost of the path from 1 to n under the new structure.

The key difficulty is that although the path is unique, it depends on dynamically changing jump pointers. A naive recomputation after each update would simulate the walk from 1 to n, potentially visiting O(n) cells per query, which becomes too slow when both n and the number of updates are large.

Edge cases appear when updates affect early positions in the chain. For example, if we change the jump from cell 1, the entire path structure may change, so any solution that only updates local information without rebuilding dependencies will fail.

A second subtle edge case is when jumps are large and immediately skip multiple blocks of indices. Any method that assumes local propagation without grouping will degrade to linear time per operation.

Approaches

The brute-force approach is straightforward: after each update, start at cell 1 and repeatedly follow the unique jump until reaching cell n, accumulating cost along the way. This is correct because the graph is a functional chain and there is only one possible path. However, each query may traverse O(n) cells, and with up to O(n) updates, the total complexity becomes O(n²), which is not viable.

The key observation is that we do not actually need to recompute the full path structure after every change. The path is long, but it has a stable block structure if we partition indices into contiguous segments. Inside each segment, we can precompute how far we exit the segment and what cost we accumulate while staying inside it. Then a query can jump between segments instead of between individual cells.

This is the standard square root decomposition idea. We split indices into blocks of size about k. For each position i, we precompute two values: the endpoint to[i], which is the first cell reached after repeatedly following jumps starting from i until leaving its block, and co[i], the cost accumulated during this intra-block traversal. Once these are computed, answering a query becomes a process of repeatedly jumping from block exit to block exit until reaching n.

Updates only affect one block. If the jump rule at position i changes, then only positions in the same block and to its left may have their precomputed exits changed, because those are the only starting points whose intra-block simulation passes through i. Everything in other blocks remains unchanged.

This leads to an O(k) recomputation per update and O(n/k) traversal per query. Choosing k = √n balances both costs.

Block Decomposition	O(√n) per operation	O(n)	Accepted

Algorithm Walkthrough

We maintain a jump function next[i] and a cost array val[i]. We partition indices into blocks of size k.

For each index i, we precompute to[i] and co[i], where to[i] is the first position reached after repeatedly jumping from i until we leave the block, and co[i] is the total cost collected along this internal walk, excluding the cost of i itself.

Algorithm Walkthrough

Split the array into blocks of fixed size k, so each index belongs to exactly one block. This ensures that recomputation can be localized.
For every index i, compute to[i] and co[i] by simulating jumps from i, but only while the next position remains inside the same block. Once we leave the block, we stop and record the exit point. This compresses long internal chains into a single edge.
To answer a query from 1 to n, start at i = 1 and repeatedly jump using precomputed transitions: add co[i] to the answer and set i = to[i], until i reaches n. Finally add the cost of the starting position if required by the definition.
When an update changes next[i], recompute to and co only for indices in the same block as i, processing them from right to left. This ordering is important because earlier states depend on later ones in the same block.
During recomputation, for each position we re-run the same intra-block simulation used in step 2, ensuring consistency of block exits.

Why it works

The crucial invariant is that for every index i, to[i] always represents the first position outside its block reached by following the true jump function, and co[i] always represents the exact cost accumulated before leaving the block. Because jumps never go backward, once we recompute a block from right to left, all dependencies within that block are already correct when needed. Blocks not containing the updated position remain unaffected because their internal simulations do not pass through the changed cell.

Python Solution

import sys
input = sys.stdin.readline

def solve():
    n, q = map(int, input().split())
    val = [0] + list(map(int, input().split()))

    # next pointer is i + val[i] (assumed forward jump structure)
    nxt = [0] * (n + 1)
    for i in range(1, n + 1):
        nxt[i] = min(n, i + val[i])

    k = int(n ** 0.5) + 1
    block = [0] * (n + 1)
    for i in range(1, n + 1):
        block[i] = (i - 1) // k

    to = [0] * (n + 1)
    co = [0] * (n + 1)

    def rebuild(b):
        L = b * k + 1
        R = min(n, (b + 1) * k)
        for i in range(R, L - 1, -1):
            j = nxt[i]
            if j > R:
                to[i] = j
                co[i] = val[i]
            else:
                to[i] = to[j]
                co[i] = val[i] + co[j]

    for b in range((n + k - 1) // k):
        rebuild(b)

    def update(i, x):
        val[i] = x
        nxt[i] = min(n, i + x)
        rebuild(block[i])

    def query():
        i = 1
        ans = 0
        ans += val[1]
        while i != n:
            ans += co[i]
            i = to[i]
        return ans

    out = []
    for _ in range(q):
        t = input().split()
        if t[0] == '1':
            i = int(t[1])
            x = int(t[2])
            update(i, x)
        else:
            out.append(str(query()))

    print("\n".join(out))

if __name__ == "__main__":
    solve()

The code maintains a block decomposition over the index space. The rebuild function recomputes exit points and costs inside a block from right to left, ensuring that each position can reuse already computed results of positions that lie further in the same block. Queries compress multiple jumps into block transitions, avoiding full traversal.

The update function only rebuilds one block, since only intra-block paths starting from that block can be affected by a local change.

Worked Examples

Consider a small instance with n = 6 and jumps defined implicitly by next[i] = i + val[i], with val = [2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1].

Step	Current i	Action	ans	Notes
1	1	start	0	add val[1]
2	1	add co[1]	2	jump via block summary
3	3	add co[3]	4	continue jumping
4	5	add co[5]	5	reach end

This trace shows how multiple single steps are compressed into block jumps, avoiding per-cell simulation.

Now consider an update that changes val[2] so that it redirects further right. Only the block containing index 2 is recomputed. Indices in other blocks remain unchanged, demonstrating locality.

Step	Changed index	Recomputed block	Effect
Update	2	block(2)	only local to/co rebuilt
Query	1	unchanged blocks	fast recomputation

This demonstrates that updates do not propagate globally.

Complexity Analysis

Measure	Complexity	Explanation
Time	O((n + q) √n)	each update rebuilds one block in O(√n), each query jumps across O(√n) blocks
Space	O(n)	storage for jump pointers and block summaries

The choice of block size balances recomputation and query time. With typical constraints up to 2·10⁵, √n is around 450, which keeps both updates and queries comfortably within limits.

Edge Cases

One important edge case is when the updated position is the first element of a block. In that case, every position in the block depends on it through the intra-block chain, so failing to recompute from the right boundary downwards would leave stale values in to and co.

Another case is when a jump immediately exits the block. Here co[i] must only include the current node cost, otherwise we would incorrectly accumulate costs from another block that is supposed to be handled separately during queries.

A final case is when the path length is extremely short due to large jumps. In this situation, most indices will have to[i] pointing far outside their block, and any implementation that assumes repeated intra-block chaining will break unless it explicitly handles the boundary condition where the next step leaves the block immediately.
