Queries to calculate sum of array elements present at every Yth index starting from the index X
Last Updated :
26 Jul, 2025
Given an array arr[] of size N, and an array Q[][] with each row representing a query of the form { X, Y }, the task for each query is to find the sum of array elements present at indices X, X + Y, X + 2 * Y + ...
Examples:
Input: arr[] = { 1, 2, 7, 5, 4 }, Q[][] = { { 2, 1 }, { 3, 2 } }
Output: 16 5
Explanation:
Query1: arr[2] + arr[2 + 1] + arr[2 + 2] = 7 + 5 + 4 = 16.
Query2: arr[3] = 5.
Input: arr[] = { 3, 6, 1, 8, 0 } Q[][] = { { 0, 2 } }
Output: 4
Naive Approach: The simplest approach to solve this problem is to traverse the array for each query and print the sum of arr[x] + arr[x + y] + arr[x + 2 * y] + ...
Below is the implementation of the above approach:
C++
// C++ program for the above approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
// Function to Find the sum of
// arr[x]+arr[x+y]+arr[x+2*y] + ...
// for all queries
void querySum(int arr[], int N,
int Q[][2], int M)
{
// Iterate over each query
for (int i = 0; i < M; i++) {
int x = Q[i][0];
int y = Q[i][1];
// Stores the sum of
// arr[x]+arr[x+y]+arr[x+2*y] + ...
int sum = 0;
// Traverse the array and calculate
// the sum of the expression
while (x < N) {
// Update sum
sum += arr[x];
// Update x
x += y;
}
cout << sum << " ";
}
}
// Driver Code

{
int arr[] = { 1, 2, 7, 5, 4 };

int N = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]);
int M = sizeof(Q) / sizeof(Q[0]);
querySum(arr, N, Q, M);
return 0;
}

Time Complexity: O(|Q| * O(N))
Auxiliary Space: O(1)
The problem can be solved by precomputing the value of the given expression for all possible values of { X, Y } using Dynamic programming technique and the Square Root Decomposition technique. The following are the recurrence relation:
if i + j < N
dp[i][j] = dp[i + j][j] + arr[i]
Otherwise,
dp[i][j] = arr[i]
dp[i][j]: Stores the sum of the given expression where X = i, Y = j
Follow the steps below to solve the problem:
- Initialize a 2D array, say dp[][], to store the sum of expression for all possible values of X and Y, where Y is less than or equal to sqrt(N).
- Fill the dp[][] array using tabulation method.
- Traverse the array Q[][]. For each query, check if the value of Q[i][1] is less than or equal to sqrt(N) or not. If found to be true, then print the value of dp[Q[i][0]][Q[i][1]].
- Otherwise, calculate the value of the expression using the above naive approach and print the calculated value.

// less than or equal to sqrt(N).

// If i + j less than N
if (i + j < N) {

Time complexity: O(N * sqrt(N) + |Q| * sqrt(N))
Auxiliary Space:O(N * sqrt(N))
Approach 2B: Space optimization
In the previous approach, we can see that in the function precomputeExpressionForAllVal we use 2d dp which is not required because dp[i][j] is dependent upon arr[i] and dp[i + j][j] so we can optimize its space complexity by using 1d DP.
Implementation:
- Initialize dp to all zeros and Iterate over all possible values of X from N-1 down to 0.
- Precompute for all possible values of an expression such that y <= sqrt(N).
- If i + j is less than N, update dp[i] to add arr[i+j].
- Define the function querySum to take in the input parameters arr, N, Q, and M.
- Traverse the query array Q[][], where each query is represented by a pair of integers {x, y}.
- If y is less than or equal to sqrt(N), iterate over arr[x], arr[x+y], arr[x+2y],..., until the end of the array and print their sum.
- Otherwise, for each query, initialize sum to zero and traverse the array arr[] starting from index x and incrementing by y.
- Add each element arr[i] to sum until x is less than N.
- Print the final sum for each query.

Stack Data StructureA Stack is a linear data structure that follows a particular order in which the operations are performed. The order may be LIFO(Last In First Out) or FILO(First In Last Out). LIFO implies that the element that is inserted last, comes out first and FILO implies that the element that is inserted first

Sorting AlgorithmsA Sorting Algorithm is used to rearrange a given array or list of elements in an order. For example, a given array [10, 20, 5, 2] becomes [2, 5, 10, 20] after sorting in increasing order and becomes [20, 10, 5, 2] after sorting in decreasing order. There exist different sorting algorithms for differ
