Well if you're solving them for fun, you probably will want a hint
instead of a link to a complete solution, right ?

Here's a hint:

Draw the points of the array as a graph. Then, if you want the sum
from one point to another, draw two vertical lines at those points.
Now, doesn't that picture remind you of something, in a mathematical sense ?


SaSW, Willem
