Find the summation of the product of Array elements in range [L, R]

Last Updated : 22 Jun, 2022

Given an array arr[] and two integers L and R. The task is to find the sum of the product of all the pairs (i, j) in the range [L, R], such that i ≤ j.

Input: arr[] = { 1, 3, 5, 8 }, L = 0, R = 2
Output: 58
Explanation: As 1*1 + 1*3 + 1*5 + 3*3 + 3*5 + 5*5 = 58

Input: arr[] = { 2, 1, 4, 5, 3, 2, 1 }, L = 1, R = 5
Output: 140

Naive Approach: The brute force approach can be directly implemented by multiplying the indices using two nested loops and storing the sum in a variable.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ implementation of the above approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to return the sum
// of (arr[i]*arr[j]) for all i and j
// between the index L and R
int sum_of_products(int arr[], int N, int L,
                    int R)
{
    int sum = 0;
 
    for (int i = L; i <= R; i++) {
        for (int j = i; j <= R; j++) {
            sum += arr[i] * arr[j];
        }
    }
    return sum;
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int arr[] = { 1, 3, 5, 8 };
    int N = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]);
    int L = 0;
    int R = 2;
    cout << sum_of_products(arr, N, L, R);
    return 0;
}

Java

// Java implementation of the above approach
import java.util.*;
public class GFG {
 
  // Function to return the sum
  // of (arr[i]*arr[j]) for all i and j
  // between the index L and R
  static int sum_of_products(int[] arr, int N, int L,
                             int R)
  {
    int sum = 0;
 
    for (int i = L; i <= R; i++) {
      for (int j = i; j <= R; j++) {
        sum += arr[i] * arr[j];
      }
    }
    return sum;
  }
 
  // Driver code
  public static void main(String args[])
  {
    int[] arr = { 1, 3, 5, 8 };
    int N = arr.length;
    int L = 0;
    int R = 2;
    System.out.println(sum_of_products(arr, N, L, R));
  }
}

Time complexity: O(N²)
Auxiliary Space: O(1)

Efficient Approach: This problem can be efficiently solved by using the Prefix sum technique. In this method, store the prefix sum in pre-calculation and then iterate a single loop from L to R and multiply the corresponding prefix sum from that index to the last index.

Basically 1*1+1*3+1*5+3*3+3*5+5*5 can be written as 1*(1+3+5)+3*(3+5)+5*(5) = 1*(prefix_sum from 1 to 5)+3*(prefix_sum from 3 to 5)+5*(prefix sum from 5 to 5)

Below is the implementation of the above approach.

// C++ code to implement above approach

// Function to return the sum of
// (arr[i]*arr[j]) for all i and j

int sum_of_products(int arr[], int n, int L,
                    int R)
{
    int sum = 0;
    // Pre-calculating Prefix sum
    int prefix_sum[n];
    prefix_sum[0] = arr[0];
    for (int i = 1; i < n; i++) {
        prefix_sum[i] = prefix_sum[i - 1]
                        + arr[i];
    }
    // Using prefix sum to find
    // summation of products
    for (int i = L; i <= R; i++) {
 
        // if-else for i==0 case
        // in prefix sum
        if (i != 0)
            sum += arr[i]
                   * (prefix_sum[R]
                      - prefix_sum[i - 1]);
        else
            sum += arr[i] * (prefix_sum[R]);
    }
    return sum;
}

    int arr[] = { 1, 3, 5, 8 };
