Problem on Lazy Propogation
By zscoder, history, 8 years ago, In English

For this problem, the tutorial states that maintaining the sum of a Geometric Progression is a simple problem that can be solved using Segment Tree. However, I don't know how to do this (I think Lazy Propogation should be involved). Any help please?

The editorial is not written very well and the proposed solution is kind of crazy. Xellos' comment does a much better job of explaining it.

Edit: Here's my code. Not very fast, but it fits. No matrix multiplication used either.
