Segment tree is a recursive data structure used to perform the following queries on an array -

query( a, b) - return the sum of all elements from a to b, i.e. , ar[a]+ ar[a+1]+ar[a+2]... ar[b]
update( a, val) - update the value of ar[a] to val
We can do the query on an array simply by keeping the running sum, but if we have multiple updates on the array,
we'll need to shift the thereafter elements and thus, will end up having a O(n*nq) [nq= number of queries] solution.

Segment trees have following complexities for these operations-

Update - O(nu*logn) [nu- number of updates]
Query - O(nq*logn) [nq- number of queries]
Building (just once) - O(n)

In the following index, the index - 'index' corresponds to the entry in the segtree.
