| Structure | Preprocess | Query | Update | Space | |-----------|------------|-------|--------|-------| | Sparse Table | | | N/A | | | Segment Tree | | | | | | BIT | | | | | Use Sparse Table when: - Array is static (no updates) - Many queries (the query pays off) - Operation is idempotent (min, max, gcd, AND, OR) Use Segment Tree when: - Updates are needed - Non-idempotent operations - More complex queries Use BIT when: - Only need prefix/range sums - Want simpler code than segment tree
