A quite easy binary-search problem

Since $$$n \le 10^5$$$, the time complexity of the soulution should be either $$$O(n)$$$ or $$$O(n\cdot log_2n)$$$. That's where binary-search come in handy.

First, we should enumerate the starting point $$$i$$$ (the serial number of the book we read first)
For every $$$i$$$, there is an ending point $$$j$$$ which is the number of the last book we read.
Then, we use binary-search to find $$$j$$$ for every $$$i$$$. We can use Prefix Sum to quickly find the sum of a section

	while(ch>='0' && ch<='9')s=(s<<3)+(s<<1)+(ch^48),ch=getchar();
	return s*w;
