Data structure for large ranges of consecutive integers?

As far as I understood the question you have a range A, B and queries of the form.

You can build a tree structure on arrays of consecutive integers quite easily, which should help with your constant factor. First renumber the sequence to start at 0, and work out which is the smallest power of two that is larger than the range of the sequence.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
