sum from the sublist

The task:




Given a list of numbers L, implement a method sum(i, j) which returns
the sum from the sublist L[i:j] (including i, excluding j).



For example, given L = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], sum(1, 3) should return
sum([2, 3]), which is 5.



You can assume that you can do some pre-processing. sum() should be
optimized over the pre-processing step.




const lst = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];


My functional solution:



const sum = (i,j) => 
const sumSublst = (acc, x) =>
return acc + x;
;
return lst.slice(i,j).reduce(sumSublst, 0);
;

console.log(sum(1,3));


My imperative solution:



function sum2(i,j) 
let sum = 0;
for(let k = i; k <j; k++)
sum += lst[k];

return sum;


console.log(sum2(1,3));


I didn't understand the last part of the task, why pre-processing and optimizing is needed for a simple task like summing up sub elements of a list.
