Hi, TLDR: Can I solve all kinds of range query questions (the kind with N, Q<= 100,000) by just studying Segment trees?? (O(logn) query and update questions)
My knowledge till now tells me that Segment trees can be used for range query problems, I haven't found any other application yet (O(logn) query and update)
Context: I have some interviews lined up in coming days, I have studied the Segment tree from Codeforces guide and have got some good understanding for first time in my life how to implement and solve questions.
Now I see there are more advanced Data Structures/techniques (I have no idea of) like: 1. Fenwick Tree 1. BIT (Maybe this is same as above idk_) 1. Order Statistic Tree 1. Square root decomposition 1. Tries
etc..
Now I need to work optimally and can't spend time learning more about Fenwick, BIT, and other DS too. I wanted to ask are there kinds of range query questions which can't be solved by segment trees? Will I be forced to learn about the other DS to solve some random question which may come my way (which is range based)
Thanks in advance, Me
