Summary

  • •Phase 6 / combined-techniques
  • •Reasoning-first competitive programming drill

Problem Description

Mixed operations: point update, subtree sum query, path max query. Design a unified structure. How to read this problem in plain language: - This is a Phase 6 reasoning drill focused on combined-techniques. - Typical lenses to test first: heavy-light, segment-tree, euler-tour. - Constraints reminder: n,q <= 2e5 Mini examples for mental simulation: 1) Boundary example: Should cover full array interval. Explain expected behavior and why naive logic may fail. 2) Adversarial example: Path max equals node value. Explain expected behavior and why naive logic may fail. Lite-mode writing target: - Write 1~2 observations that shrink the search space. - Name one final algorithm and state target complexity explicitly. - Validate with at least 2 edge cases and one hand simulation.

Analysis

Key Insight

Path query needs chain hopping; subtree query O(log n).
