Hi,

I don't suppose you have some example data that this works with, I would like to use it for a project but am unsure how to run it. Is it possible to get it to take in a normal array without reading from a file?

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Hi Joshua,

Both the original code and the snippe for the codeforce example I pasted in comment use standard input(so when you run the program, you can enter the input from the console). Or you can use something like tho following to initialize the RMQ structure from a array.

if __name__ == '__main__':
    rmq = RMQ(10)
    data = [1, 2, 5, 3, 4, 2, 1, 5, 3, 2]
    for idx, value in enumerate(data):
        rmq.update(idx, value)

Great code, I am usually needing one RMQ implementation for some leetcode problems. I just used it for this problem btw (which is not the fastest for that problem, but I was curious in solving it with RMQ):
