2D Prefix Sum and Submatrix Sum Queries

Показать описание
A 2-dimensional prefix sum is a powerful algorithmic technique used in computer science and mathematics to preprocess a given 2D grid or matrix, enabling efficient querying of summed values over rectangular subregions. In essence, it is an extension of the 1-dimensional prefix sum to two dimensions. This method involves constructing an auxiliary matrix of the same dimensions as the original, where each cell (i, j) contains the sum of all elements in the rectangular region formed by the top-left corner (0, 0) and the current position (i, j). Once this preprocessing is complete, the sum of any rectangular subregion can be calculated with only four array lookups and three arithmetic operations, significantly reducing the time complexity of repeated queries.

What's the logic behind calculating prefix sum for each cell? What's the intuition behind the formula you used?
