Question

Simplify the following algorithm so only one array is used and no B array is needed.

Algorithm #3 - Indirect Sum
Objective: compute the sum of N integers
sum = 0 # set accumulator to 0
A = list(range(0,N)) #create an array of length N filled with values 0..N-1
B = [random.randint(0,N-1) for j in A ] # create an array of length N filled with random #s
indx = B[0]
for i in range(0,N):
sum += A[indx]
indx = B[indx]
print("sum = ", sum)
