Queries to calculate sum of squares of ASCII values of characters of a substring with updates

Given a string S of length N and a 2D array of strings Q[][] consisting of M queries of the following type:

• Query("U", "I", "X"): Update the character at index I with the character X.
• Query("S", "L", "R"): Print the sum of the squares of the position of the characters in the substring {S[L], ...., S[R]} according to the English alphabets.

Examples:

Input: S = "geeksforgeeks", Q[][] = {{"S", "0", "2"}, {"S", "1", "2"}, {"U", "1", "a"}, {"S", "0", "2"}, {"S", "4", "5"}}
Output:
99
50
75
397
Explanation:
For Query("S", "0", "2"), sum of squares of the positions of the characters in the substring "gee" = 7*7 + 5*5 + 5*5 = 99.
For Query("S", "1", "2"), sum of squares of the positions of the character in the substring "ee" = 5*5 + 5*5 = 50.
For Query("U", "1", "a"): Replacing S[1] by 'a' modifies S to "gaeksforgeeks".
For Query("S", "0", "2"), sum of squares of the positions of the characters in the substring "gae" = 7*7 + 1*1 + 5*5 = 75.
For Query("S", "4", "5"), sum of squares of the positions of the characters in the substring "ks" = 19*19 + 36 = 397

Input: S = "geeksforgeeks", Q[][] = {{"S", "1", "2"}}
Output: 50

Naive Approach: The simplest approach to solve the problem is to traverse the array Q[][] for each query and for queries of type 'S', simply traverse the substring {S[L], ..., S[R]} and print the sum of squares of the positions of the characters in English alphabets. In each iteration to perform the query of type 'U', simply assign X to S[I].

Time Complexity: O(N * M)
Auxiliary Space: O(1)

Efficient Approach: The above approach can be optimized by using Segment Tree data structure. Follow the steps below to solve the problem:

• Initialize a segment tree, say tree[], where each node stores the sum of squares of the position of the characters in English alphabets in its subtree.
• For Query("U", "I", "X"), define an update function, similar to the update function of sum range queries. Update S[i] = X and then call the update() function to update the segment tree.
• For Query("S", "L", "R"), define a function query(), similar to sum range query and then, print the sum obtained by calling the query() function for the substring {S[L], ...., S[R]}.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

// the above approach

using namespace std;

// Structure of a node
// of a Segment Tree
struct treeNode {
    int square_sum;

{
    // If start and end are equal
    if (start == end) {

        // Assign squares of positions
        // of the characters
        tree[treeNode].square_sum
            = pow(s[start] - 'a' + 1, 2);

        return;
    }

    // Stores the mid value of
    // the range [start, end]
    int mid = start + ((end - start) / 2);
