A Fenwick tree is a data structure for efficiently calculating prefix sums. It can calculate prefix sums, update them, etc in O(log(N)) time like a normal tree.

pub struct FenwickTree<PrimInt> {
    pub tree: Vec<PrimInt>,
    pub size: usize,
}

impl<N: PrimInt> FenwickTree<N> {
#

Initializes a Fenwick Tree with a given size Note that a fenwick tree is “one-indexed”, which simplifies the implementation.

    pub fn new(size: usize) -> Self {
        FenwickTree {
            tree: vec![N::zero(); size + 1],
            size,
        }
    }
#

Updates the value at a given index by adding ‘value’ to it

    pub fn update(&mut self, mut index: usize, value: N) {
        while index <= self.size {
            self.tree[index] = self.tree[index].saturating_add(value);
#

index & index.wrapping_neg() gets the lowest set bit of index. Take an index of 12, which would be 1100. By taking index & index.wrapping_neg(), and adding it to index, we get 16, or 10000 Thus, this always increments in powers of 2, so, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32…

            index += index & index.wrapping_neg();
        }
    }
#

Queries the cumulative sum up to a given index

    pub fn query(&self, mut index: usize) -> N {
        let mut sum: N = N::zero();
        while index > 0 {
            sum = sum.saturating_add(self.tree[index]);
#

index & index.wrapping_neg() gets the lowest set bit of index. Then we subtract it from index to get to the nearest smaller power of 2. Thus, this decrements in powers of 2, like 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1, 0.

            index -= index & index.wrapping_neg();
        }
        sum
    }
}

#[cfg(test)]
mod tests {
    use quickcheck_macros::quickcheck;

    use super::*;

    #[test]
    fn ex1() {
        let mut ft = FenwickTree::new(10);

        for i in 1..=5 {
            ft.update(i, i);
        }

        assert_eq!(ft.query(1), 1);
        assert_eq!(ft.query(3), 6);
        assert_eq!(ft.query(5), 15);
    }
#

To test that our implementation is correct, here’s a property test. We want to generate some input and then verify manually that prefix sums are being properly calculated by the fenwick tree.

    #[quickcheck]
    fn sum_in_bounds(input: Vec<usize>) -> bool {
        let len = input.len();
#

To do that, we generate a random number of variables, and then insert them all into the fenwick tree.

        let mut ft = FenwickTree::new(len + 1);
        for (i, val) in input.iter().enumerate() {
            ft.update(i + 1, *val);
        }
#

afterwards, we query the tree for each index in the array, making sure it correctly calculates the prefix sum by matching it to a naive O(n^2) implementation. If they match, then we’ve implemented it properly.

        (0..len)
            .map(|i| {
                let mut total: usize = 0;
                for j in (0..i).take(i) {
                    total = total.saturating_add(input[j]);
                }
                total == ft.query(i)
            })
            .all(|t| t)
    }
}
