#327 Count of Range Sum

APPROACH

Given an integer array nums and two integers lower and upper, return the number of range sums that lie in [lower, upper] inclusive.

Range sum S(i, j) is defined as the sum of the elements in nums between indices i and j inclusive, where i <= j.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [-2,5,-1], lower = -2, upper = 2

Output: 3

Explanation: The three ranges are: [0,0], [2,2], and [0,2] and their respective sums are: -2, -1, 2.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [0], lower = 0, upper = 0

Output: 1
