Problem Understanding

We are given a one-dimensional street with $n$ positions, each position $i$ having a planned final height $h_i$. Think of this as a skyline project where each index is a building site and the number $h_i$ is how many “layers of construction” are required at that site.

We are allowed to perform construction operations. Each operation picks a segment $[l, r]$ and increases every $h_i$ in that segment by 1 unit of progress toward completion. The interpretation is that each unit increase represents one batch of work that contributes one layer of height to all buildings in that interval simultaneously.

The project definition is dynamic. There are two types of operations. One operation modifies the planned heights by adding a value $k$ to all positions in a range $[l, r]$, effectively increasing how many construction layers those buildings ultimately require. The other operation asks a restricted planning question: if we ignore everything outside $[l, r]$ by treating those positions as having target height zero, what is the minimum number of construction interval operations needed to finish all buildings in $[l, r]$?

The key output is the answer to each query of type two.

The constraints $n, m \le 10^5$ and heights up to $10^6$ immediately rule out any solution that recomputes answers from scratch per query. A naive simulation of construction steps or repeated full scans per query will not survive. We need updates and queries both to be logarithmic or close.

A subtle issue is that heights are both increased by updates and then queried in isolation on subsegments. A naive mistake is to think the problem is simply prefix sums or range addition queries. The second operation is not asking for the sum or max, but for a minimum number of interval “covering” operations needed to realize a height profile.

Edge cases arise when updates overlap heavily, or when queries isolate a region that has been incremented many times indirectly. For example, if we increase $[1, 5]$ by 1 repeatedly and then query a subsegment, the answer depends on the structure of heights, not just total sum.

A small example that reveals the trap:

Input:

After the update, heights become $[2,3,4]$. Querying $[2,2]$ should return 1, while $[1,3]$ is 4, since we need 4 global unit operations. A naive interpretation might try to use sum or max alone, which would fail because the cost depends on structure across adjacent differences.

Approaches

The brute-force way is to simulate construction for each query independently. For a fixed interval $[l, r]$, we want to know how many interval increments are needed so that each position reaches its target height. Each operation increases a continuous segment uniformly, so it is equivalent to building the height profile by stacking horizontal “layers” across the segment.

If we think in terms of layers, each operation contributes one unit of height to a contiguous block. The minimum number of operations equals the total number of times we must start a new layer when scanning the array from left to right. Concretely, this becomes counting how many times the height increases compared to the previous position.

So for a fixed array, the answer for $[l, r]$ is:

$$h[l] + \sum_{i=l+1}^{r} \max(0, h[i] - h[i-1])$$

This is a known characterization: each increase represents a new “stack start”.

The brute force recomputes this sum per query in $O(n)$, and updates take $O(n)$ if applied directly. With $m = 10^5$, worst-case complexity becomes $10^{10}$, which is too slow.

The key insight is that the answer depends only on adjacent differences $d_i = \max(0, h_i - h_{i-1})$. Range updates on $h$ translate into structured updates on these differences. Each update affects only boundary positions in a controlled way. This transforms the problem into maintaining a dynamic array of differences with range addition and sum queries.

We maintain:

$$d_i = \max(0, h_i - h_{i-1})$$

and note that the answer for a query $[l, r]$ becomes:

$$h[l] + \sum_{i=l+1}^{r} d_i$$

So we need:

Range add on $h$
Maintain $d$
Query prefix-adjusted sum of $d$

This is handled with a segment tree or Fenwick tree that supports range add and point query for $h$, plus a second structure for maintaining $d$, updated only at boundaries of changes.

Each range add $[l, r, k]$ changes only two comparisons:

at $l$: $h_l$ increases, affecting $d_l$
at $r+1$: $h_{r+1}$ comparison changes relative to $h_r$

Thus updates are $O(\log n)$, queries also $O(\log n)$.

Algorithm Walkthrough

We maintain two segment trees (or BIT structures). One stores the array $h$ under range addition and point queries. The second stores the derived structure $d_i = \max(0, h_i - h_{i-1})$ via point updates.

Steps

Build a structure that supports range add and point query for $h_i$.

This lets us retrieve any current height instantly, which is necessary to recompute local differences after updates. 2. Build an array $d$ where initially:

$d_i = \max(0, h_i - h_{i-1})$.

We also maintain a prefix sum structure over $d$.

This is because query answers reduce to prefix sums of $d$. 3. For a type 1 update $[l, r, k]$, apply range addition to $h$.

The heights in $[l, r]$ change, but only adjacency boundaries matter for $d$. 4. Recompute affected differences:

Only positions $l$ and $r+1$ can change comparison results.

We update:

$d_l = \max(0, h_l - h_{l-1})$

$d_{r+1} = \max(0, h_{r+1} - h_r)$ if $r+1 \le n$

This works because all interior differences shift uniformly, preserving relative ordering. 5. For a type 2 query $[l, r]$, compute:

$h[l] + \sum_{i=l+1}^{r} d_i$.

This is obtained via point query for $h[l]$ and prefix range sum over $d$.

Why it works

The construction cost interpretation depends only on where the height sequence increases when moving left to right. Each increase forces a new layer in any valid construction schedule. Since range additions preserve relative differences except at boundaries, the structure of increases is stable except at update edges. This reduces the global problem to tracking a small set of local changes in adjacent comparisons. The invariant is that $d_i$ always equals the positive part of the current adjacent difference, so prefix sums of $d$ exactly count the number of layer starts.

Python Solution

import sys
input = sys.stdin.readline

class BIT:
    def __init__(self, n):
        self.n = n
        self.bit = [0] * (n + 2)

    def add(self, i, v):
        while i <= self.n:
            self.bit[i] += v
            i += i & -i

    def sum(self, i):
        s = 0
        while i > 0:
            s += self.bit[i]
            i -= i & -i
        return s

class RangeAddPointQuery:
    def __init__(self, n):
        self.n = n
        self.bit = BIT(n)

    def range_add(self, l, r, v):
        self.bit.add(l, v)
        if r + 1 <= self.n:
            self.bit.add(r + 1, -v)

    def get(self, i):
        return self.bit.sum(i)

class Fenwick:
    def __init__(self, n):
        self.n = n
        self.bit = [0] * (n + 2)

    def add(self, i, v):
        while i <= self.n:
            self.bit[i] += v
            i += i & -i

    def sum(self, i):
        s = 0
        while i > 0:
            s += self.bit[i]
            i -= i & -i
        return s

n, m = map(int, input().split())
h0 = list(map(int, input().split()))

rapq = RangeAddPointQuery(n)
for i, v in enumerate(h0, 1):
    rapq.range_add(i, i, v)

d = Fenwick(n)

def get(i):
    if i == 1:
        return rapq.get(1)
    return max(0, rapq.get(i) - rapq.get(i - 1))

for i in range(1, n + 1):
    d.add(i, get(i))

def update(i):
    if 1 <= i <= n:
        if i == 1:
            new = rapq.get(1)
            prev = 0
        else:
            new = rapq.get(i)
            prev = rapq.get(i - 1)
        val = max(0, new - prev)
        cur = d.sum(i) - d.sum(i - 1)
        d.add(i, val - cur)

for _ in range(m):
    tmp = input().split()
    if tmp[0] == '1':
        _, l, r, k = map(int, tmp)
        rapq.range_add(l, r, k)
        update(l)
        update(r + 1)
    else:
        _, l, r = map(int, tmp)
        res = rapq.get(l)
        res += d.sum(r) - d.sum(l)
        print(res)

The implementation separates height maintenance from difference maintenance. The first structure supports fast range increments and point queries, which avoids rebuilding the full array. The second structure maintains the compressed “increase points” representation that drives query answers.

The update function is carefully restricted to only recomputing boundary positions. A common mistake is attempting to update all indices in $[l, r]$, which would be too slow. The correctness relies on the fact that internal differences remain unchanged in value because both endpoints of each internal edge shift equally.

The query uses a point value at $l$ plus a prefix sum of differences from $l+1$ to $r$, matching the reconstruction formula.

Worked Examples

Example 1

Input:

Step	Operation	h array	d array	Query result
1	init	[1,2,3]	[1,1,1]	-
2	query [1,3]	[1,2,3]	[1,1,1]	3
3	add +1 to [1,3]	[2,3,4]	[2,1,1]	-
4	query [1,3]	[2,3,4]	[2,1,1]	4

The trace shows that the answer increases when a new initial layer is introduced at the first position after update, and internal increases remain stable except at boundaries.

Example 2

Input:

Step	Operation	h array	d array	Query result
1	init	[3,1,4,1,5]	[3,0,3,0,4]	-
2	query [2,5]	[3,1,4,1,5]	[3,0,3,0,4]	1+0+3+0+4 = 8
3	add +2 to [2,4]	[3,3,6,3,5]	[3,0,3,0,2]	-
4	query [2,5]	[3,3,6,3,5]	[3,0,3,0,2]	3+0+3+0+2 = 8

The second update changes internal heights but preserves the overall number of increase boundaries in a way that keeps the construction cost stable over the query range.

Complexity Analysis

Measure	Complexity	Explanation
Time	$O((n + m)\log n)$	Range updates and point queries via Fenwick-based structures
Space	$O(n)$	Two Fenwick structures for heights and differences

The solution comfortably fits within limits because each operation only performs logarithmic work, and the total number of operations is $2 \times 10^5$.

Edge Cases

A subtle edge case is when updates touch the boundaries of the array. For example, if we apply $[1, n, k]$, only $d_1$ changes meaningfully because there is no $d_{n+1}$, and the algorithm must avoid accessing out-of-range indices. The implementation explicitly checks bounds when updating $r+1$, preventing corruption of the Fenwick tree.

Another case is repeated overlapping updates. Because the height structure is maintained through a difference-based Fenwick tree, overlapping additions accumulate correctly without needing recomputation. Each update contributes linearly to the internal BIT state, and boundary recomputation ensures correctness of derived differences.

A final case is queries on single points $[l, l]$. The formula reduces to returning $h[l]$, since no adjacency contributes. The implementation naturally handles this because the prefix difference sum becomes zero.
