我在一次工作面试中被问到这个问题,我想知道其他人是如何解决这个问题的。我最擅长使用Java,但也欢迎使用其他语言的解决方案。

给定一个数字数组nums,返回一个数字数组products,其中products[i]是所有nums[j]的乘积,j != i。 输入:[1,2,3,4,5] 输出:[(2 * 3 * 4 * 5),(1 * 3 * 4 * 5),(1 * 2 * 4 * 5),(1 * 2 * 3 * 5),(1 * 2 * 3 * 4)] = [120, 60, 40, 30, 24] 你必须在O(N)中不使用除法来做这个。

{-
Recursive solution using sqrt(n) subsets. Runs in O(n).

Recursively computes the solution on sqrt(n) subsets of size sqrt(n). 
Then recurses on the product sum of each subset.
Then for each element in each subset, it computes the product with
the product sum of all other products.
Then flattens all subsets.

Recurrence on the run time is T(n) = sqrt(n)*T(sqrt(n)) + T(sqrt(n)) + n

Suppose that T(n) ≤ cn in O(n).

T(n) = sqrt(n)*T(sqrt(n)) + T(sqrt(n)) + n
    ≤ sqrt(n)*c*sqrt(n) + c*sqrt(n) + n
    ≤ c*n + c*sqrt(n) + n
    ≤ (2c+1)*n
    ∈ O(n)

Note that ceiling(sqrt(n)) can be computed using a binary search 
and O(logn) iterations, if the sqrt instruction is not permitted.

public static void main(String[] args) {
    int[] arr = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };
    int[] result = { 1, 1, 1, 1, 1 };
    for (int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
        for (int j = 0; j < i; j++) {
            result[i] *= arr[j];

        }
        for (int k = arr.length - 1; k > i; k--) {
            result[i] *= arr[k];
        }
    }
    for (int i : result) {
        System.out.println(i);
    }
}

我想出了这个解决方案,我发现它很清楚,你觉得呢!?

下面是我尝试用Java来解决这个问题。抱歉格式不规范,但代码有很多重复,这是我能做的最好的,使它可读。

import java.util.Arrays;

public class Products {
    static int[] products(int... nums) {
        final int N = nums.length;
        int[] prods = new int[N];
        Arrays.fill(prods, 1);
        for (int
           i = 0, pi = 1    ,  j = N-1, pj = 1  ;
           (i < N)         && (j >= 0)          ;
           pi *= nums[i++]  ,  pj *= nums[j--]  )
        {
           prods[i] *= pi   ;  prods[j] *= pj   ;
        }
        return prods;
    }
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println(
            Arrays.toString(products(1, 2, 3, 4, 5))
        ); // prints "[120, 60, 40, 30, 24]"
    }
}

循环不变量为pi = nums[0] * nums[1] *..* nums[N-2] *..num [j + 1]。左边的i部分是“前缀”逻辑,右边的j部分是“后缀”逻辑。


递归一行程序

Jasmeet给出了一个(漂亮的!)递归解;我把它变成了这样(可怕!)Java一行程序。它进行就地修改,堆栈中有O(N)个临时空间。

static int multiply(int[] nums, int p, int n) {
    return (n == nums.length) ? 1
      : nums[n] * (p = multiply(nums, nums[n] * (nums[n] = p), n + 1))
          + 0*(nums[n] *= p);
}

int[] arr = {1,2,3,4,5};
multiply(arr, 1, 0);
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(arr));
// prints "[120, 60, 40, 30, 24]"

以下是线性O(n)时间内的简单Scala版本:

def getProductEff(in:Seq[Int]):Seq[Int] = {

   //create a list which has product of every element to the left of this element
   val fromLeft = in.foldLeft((1, Seq.empty[Int]))((ac, i) => (i * ac._1, ac._2 :+ ac._1))._2

   //create a list which has product of every element to the right of this element, which is the same as the previous step but in reverse
   val fromRight = in.reverse.foldLeft((1,Seq.empty[Int]))((ac,i) => (i * ac._1,ac._2 :+ ac._1))._2.reverse

   //merge the two list by product at index
   in.indices.map(i => fromLeft(i) * fromRight(i))

}

这是可行的,因为本质上答案是一个数组,它是左右所有元素的乘积。

这个解决方案可以被认为是C/ c++的。 假设我们有一个包含n个元素的数组a 像a[n]一样,那么伪代码将如下所示。

for(j=0;j<n;j++)
  { 
    prod[j]=1;

    for (i=0;i<n;i++)
    {   
        if(i==j)
        continue;  
        else
        prod[j]=prod[j]*a[i];
  }
