The task is:
A non-empty zero-indexed string S is given. String S consists of N characters from the set of upper-case English letters A, C, G, T.
<Here is the solution, supposing someone is still interested.
class Solution {
public int[] solution(String S, int[] P, int[] Q) {
int[] answer = new int[P.length];
char[] chars = S.toCharArray();
int[][] cumulativeAnswers = new int[4][chars.length + 1];
for (int iii = 0; iii < chars.length; iii++) {
if (iii > 0) {
for (int zzz = 0; zzz < 4; zzz++) {
cumulativeAnswers[zzz][iii + 1] = cumulativeAnswers[zzz][iii];
}
}
switch (chars[iii]) {
case 'A':
cumulativeAnswers[0][iii + 1]++;
break;
case 'C':
cumulativeAnswers[1][iii + 1]++;
break;
case 'G':
cumulativeAnswers[2][iii + 1]++;
break;
case 'T':
cumulativeAnswers[3][iii + 1]++;
break;
}
}
for (int iii = 0; iii < P.length; iii++) {
for (int zzz = 0; zzz < 4; zzz++) {
if ((cumulativeAnswers[zzz][Q[iii] + 1] - cumulativeAnswers[zzz][P[iii]]) > 0) {
answer[iii] = zzz + 1;
break;
}
}
}
return answer;
}
}
In case anyone cares about C:
#include <string.h>
struct Results solution(char *S, int P[], int Q[], int M) {
int i, a, b, N, *pA, *pC, *pG;
struct Results result;
result.A = malloc(sizeof(int) * M);
result.M = M;
// calculate prefix sums
N = strlen(S);
pA = malloc(sizeof(int) * N);

pG = malloc(sizeof(int) * N);
pA[0] = S[0] == 'A' ? 1 : 0;
pC[0] = S[0] == 'C' ? 1 : 0;
pG[0] = S[0] == 'G' ? 1 : 0;
for (i = 1; i < N; i++) {
pA[i] = pA[i - 1] + (S[i] == 'A' ? 1 : 0);
pC[i] = pC[i - 1] + (S[i] == 'C' ? 1 : 0);

}
for (i = 0; i < M; i++) {

result.A[i] = 1;
} else if ((pC[b] - pC[a]) > 0) {

} else if ((pG[b] - pG[a]) > 0) {
result.A[i] = 3;
} else {

}
}
return result;

Simple, elegant, domain specific, 100/100 solution in JS with comments!

// how many times nucleotide repeats at the moment we reach S[i]
var counters = [];
// result
var minImpact = [];

// count nucleotides
for(i = 0; i <= N; i++) {

}
// for every query
