Range Minimum Query

/*
    A RangeMinimumQuery, is a data structure for answering range-minimum-queries of an array.
    For a given array A[], of elements for which an ordering exists, we want to find the
    minimum value A[x] of a subarray A[i..j], where i and j are the query parameters.

    Precomputation complexity: O(n log(n))
    Query complexity: O(1)
