Bank Transaction Analysis
A bank wants to analyze the transactions over a number of days to find the total net balance change between any two specific days. Write a program that processes a list of daily transaction amounts (positive for deposits, negative for withdrawals) and allows querying of net changes over arbitrary day ranges.
Input format:
- The first line contains an integer D (1 ≤ D ≤ 100,000), the number of days.
- The second line contains D integers, representing daily transaction amounts.
- The third line contains two integers, startDay and endDay (0 ≤ startDay ≤ endDay < D), the range of days for the query.
Output format:
- Output a single integer: the total balance change from startDay to endDay (inclusive).
Example:
Input:
5
100 -50 200 -30 50
1 3
Output:
120
