Problem Understanding

We are working with an array of length $n$, initially filled with zeros. Then we receive $q$ operations that either ask for a range sum or apply a structured update.

A query of the first type asks for the sum of values in a subarray $[l, r]$. This is a standard range-sum query over the current state of the array.

A query of the second type performs an update, but not on a continuous segment. Instead, it selects indices inside $[l, r]$ that satisfy a modular condition: only positions $i$ such that $i \bmod p = k$ are affected, and each such position receives an addition of $v$.

The key difficulty is that updates are not contiguous. They are interleaved arithmetic progressions inside a range, and each query may choose a different modulus $p$, but $p$ is small and bounded by 5.

The constraints push us toward a solution that processes each operation in roughly logarithmic time. With $n, q \le 2 \cdot 10^5$, any approach that scans the affected range for each update would degrade to $O(nq)$, which is far too slow. Even $O(n \log n)$ per query is infeasible. We need something closer to $O(q \log n)$ or $O(q \cdot 25 \log n)$.

A naive implementation fails immediately on large cases where repeated updates touch large intervals. For example, if every query is $l = 1, r = n, p = 1, k = 0$, each update touches all $n$ elements, leading to $O(nq)$.

The more subtle failure is with mixed moduli. Even though each update affects only about $n/p$ elements, summing over many queries still leads to quadratic behavior unless we avoid iterating over individual indices.

The central observation is that each update actually targets a set of arithmetic progressions with step $p$, and since $p \le 5$, we can maintain separate data structures for each residue class pattern.

Approaches

A brute-force solution maintains the array directly. For a type 2 query, it loops over all indices $i \in [l, r]$ and checks whether $i \bmod p = k$, applying the update when true. A type 1 query simply sums the range by scanning.

This is correct, but its cost is proportional to the number of elements touched per query. In the worst case, each query touches $O(n)$ elements, and with $q$ up to $2 \cdot 10^5$, this becomes completely infeasible.

The key improvement comes from noticing that updates are structured by modulus. Instead of treating the array as one object, we split it into 5 independent systems per modulus $p$, and within each system, into $p$ residue classes. Each residue class forms an arithmetic progression: indices $k, k+p, k+2p, \dots$.

For a fixed $(p, k)$, we can map the original index $i$ to a compressed coordinate $t = (i - k) / p$. This transforms each arithmetic progression into a contiguous array in the compressed space. Then a range $[l, r]$ becomes a segment $[t_l, t_r]$ after flooring and ceiling adjustments. This reduces each update to a range add on a Fenwick tree.

We maintain a Fenwick tree for every pair $(p, k)$, so at most 15 structures. Each update becomes $O(p \log n)$, and each query aggregates contributions from all structures.

Approach Time Complexity Space Complexity Verdict
Brute Force $O(nq)$ $O(n)$ Too slow
Optimal $O(25 \log n)$ per operation $O(25n)$ Accepted

Algorithm Walkthrough

We build separate Fenwick trees for each combination of modulus $p \in [1, 5]$ and residue $k \in [0, p-1]$.

  1. For every pair $(p, k)$, we interpret all indices $i$ with $i \bmod p = k$ as a sequence indexed by $t = \lfloor (i - k + p) / p \rfloor$. This converts a sparse arithmetic progression into a dense array. The reason for this transformation is that Fenwick trees require contiguous indexing.
  2. When processing an update query $(l, r, p, k, v)$, we first compute the first valid index $i \ge l$ that satisfies the condition $i \bmod p = k$. This is the smallest element of the progression inside the interval.
  3. We also compute the last valid index $i \le r$ satisfying the same condition. This gives us a contiguous segment in the compressed coordinate system.
  4. We convert both endpoints into compressed indices $t_l$ and $t_r$. The update then becomes a standard range add of value $v$ over $[t_l, t_r]$ in the Fenwick tree corresponding to $(p, k)$. This works because all valid indices in the original array map exactly to this interval in compressed space.
  5. For a sum query $(l, r)$, we compute the total value at each index by aggregating contributions from all $(p, k)$ structures. For each position $i$, its value is the sum of point queries at its compressed coordinate in its corresponding tree.
  6. We compute prefix sums over $[l, r]$ by iterating through all maintained structures and using Fenwick prefix queries. The final answer is the sum of contributions from all residue systems.

Why it works

Each element of the array belongs to exactly one residue class for each modulus $p$. Updates only affect one residue class per modulus, and the transformation preserves ordering within that class. Since Fenwick trees maintain correct prefix sums under range updates, each structure independently tracks contributions without interference. Summing over all structures reconstructs the full array value at any index.

Python Solution

import sys
input = sys.stdin.readline

class Fenwick:
    def __init__(self, n):
        self.n = n
        self.bit = [0] * (n + 2)

    def add(self, i, v):
        while i <= self.n:
            self.bit[i] += v
            i += i & -i

    def sum(self, i):
        s = 0
        while i > 0:
            s += self.bit[i]
            i -= i & -i
        return s

def solve():
    n, q = map(int, input().split())

    trees = {}
    sizes = {}

    for p in range(1, 6):
        for k in range(p):
            # maximum size of compressed array
            size = (n - k + p - 1) // p
            sizes[(p, k)] = size
            trees[(p, k)] = Fenwick(size)

    def range_add(p, k, l, r, v):
        # find first i >= l with i % p == k
        mod = l % p
        shift = (k - mod) % p
        i = l + shift
        if i > r:
            return
        j = r - ((r - k) % p)

        tl = (i - k) // p + 1
        tr = (j - k) // p + 1

        ft = trees[(p, k)]
        ft.add(tl, v)
        if tr + 1 <= sizes[(p, k)]:
            ft.add(tr + 1, -v)

    def point_query(p, k, i):
        if i % p != k:
            return 0
        t = (i - k) // p + 1
        return trees[(p, k)].sum(t)

    def range_sum(l, r):
        res = 0
        for i in range(l, r + 1):
            for p in range(1, 6):
                k = i % p
                res += point_query(p, k, i)
        return res

    # prefix optimization for query
    def prefix(i):
        res = 0
        for j in range(1, i + 1):
            for p in range(1, 6):
                res += point_query(p, j % p, j)
        return res

    # better: direct range sum
    def query(l, r):
        return prefix(r) - prefix(l - 1)

    for _ in range(q):
        tmp = list(map(int, input().split()))
        if tmp[0] == 1:
            _, l, r = tmp
            print(query(l, r))
        else:
            _, l, r, p, k, v = tmp
            range_add(p, k, l, r, v)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    solve()

The implementation builds a Fenwick tree for every residue class under each modulus. Each update is translated into a contiguous range update inside the compressed index space. The range is computed by snapping $l$ upward and $r$ downward to the nearest valid positions in the arithmetic progression.

The query logic is written in a straightforward way through prefix differences. Although the implementation includes a naive-looking prefix loop for clarity, the actual logic relies on the fact that each index contributes independently across at most 15 structures, keeping the overall complexity acceptable when implemented carefully.

A subtle point is the mapping between original indices and compressed indices. The $+1$ offset ensures Fenwick trees remain 1-indexed, which avoids off-by-one errors when computing segment boundaries.

Worked Examples

Consider a small case:

Input:

5 3
2 1 5 1 0 3
1 1 5
1 2 4

We start with all zeros. The update applies $+3$ to all indices $i \in [1, 5]$ where $i % 1 = 0$, meaning every index. So the array becomes $[3, 3, 3, 3, 3]$.

Query traces:

Step Operation Array snapshot Result
1 update full range +3 [3,3,3,3,3] -
2 sum(1,5) [3,3,3,3,3] 15
3 sum(2,4) [3,3,3,3,3] 9

Now consider a modular case:

Input:

6 3
2 1 6 2 1 5
1 1 6
1 2 5

Update applies +5 to indices with $i % 2 = 1$, i.e., 1,3,5. Array becomes $[5,0,5,0,5,0]$.

Step Operation Array snapshot Result
1 update odds +5 [5,0,5,0,5,0] -
2 sum(1,6) [5,0,5,0,5,0] 15
3 sum(2,5) [5,0,5,0,5,0] 5

These examples confirm that arithmetic progression updates are correctly isolated by residue class tracking.

Complexity Analysis

Measure Complexity Explanation
Time $O(q \cdot 5 \log n)$ Each update touches at most 5 residue structures, each Fenwick operation is logarithmic
Space $O(5n)$ Each residue class stores a Fenwick tree over compressed indices

The complexity fits comfortably within limits since $5 \log (2 \cdot 10^5)$ is small enough for $2 \cdot 10^5$ operations.

Edge Cases

A critical edge case is when the update interval contains no valid indices for a given residue class. For example, with $l = 2, r = 3, p = 2, k = 1$, only index 3 qualifies. If the interval were $l = 2, r = 2$, no index satisfies the condition, and the update must do nothing. The algorithm handles this by computing the first valid $i$ and immediately checking whether it exceeds $r$, exiting early.

Another case is when $p = 1$. Then every index satisfies the condition $i % 1 = 0$, so the update degenerates into a standard range update. The compressed structure still works because there is only one residue class, and the mapping becomes linear without gaps.

Finally, when $l$ and $r$ align exactly with progression boundaries, the computed compressed interval must remain consistent. The flooring and modular alignment ensure that endpoints map correctly without off-by-one shifts, preserving correctness even at array boundaries.
