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。


当前回答

    int[] arr1 = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };
    int[] product = new int[arr1.Length];              

    for (int i = 0; i < arr1.Length; i++)
    {
        for (int j = 0; j < product.Length; j++)
        {
            if (i != j)
            {
                product[j] = product[j] == 0 ? arr1[i] : product[j] * arr1[i];
            }
        }
    }

其他回答

    int[] arr1 = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };
    int[] product = new int[arr1.Length];              

    for (int i = 0; i < arr1.Length; i++)
    {
        for (int j = 0; j < product.Length; j++)
        {
            if (i != j)
            {
                product[j] = product[j] == 0 ? arr1[i] : product[j] * arr1[i];
            }
        }
    }

在这里添加我的javascript解决方案,因为我没有发现任何人建议这样做。 除法是什么,除了数从另一个数中得到一个数的次数吗?我计算了整个数组的乘积,然后遍历每个元素,并减去当前元素直到0:

//No division operation allowed
// keep substracting divisor from dividend, until dividend is zero or less than divisor
function calculateProducsExceptCurrent_NoDivision(input){
  var res = [];
  var totalProduct = 1;
  //calculate the total product
  for(var i = 0; i < input.length; i++){
    totalProduct = totalProduct * input[i];
  }
  //populate the result array by "dividing" each value
  for(var i = 0; i < input.length; i++){
    var timesSubstracted = 0;
    var divisor = input[i];
    var dividend = totalProduct;
    while(divisor <= dividend){
      dividend = dividend - divisor;
      timesSubstracted++;
    }
    res.push(timesSubstracted);
  }
  return res;
}

下面是一个使用c#的函数式示例:

            Func<long>[] backwards = new Func<long>[input.Length];
            Func<long>[] forwards = new Func<long>[input.Length];

            for (int i = 0; i < input.Length; ++i)
            {
                var localIndex = i;
                backwards[i] = () => (localIndex > 0 ? backwards[localIndex - 1]() : 1) * input[localIndex];
                forwards[i] = () => (localIndex < input.Length - 1 ? forwards[localIndex + 1]() : 1) * input[localIndex];
            }

            var output = new long[input.Length];
            for (int i = 0; i < input.Length; ++i)
            {
                if (0 == i)
                {
                    output[i] = forwards[i + 1]();
                }
                else if (input.Length - 1 == i)
                {
                    output[i] = backwards[i - 1]();
                }
                else
                {
                    output[i] = forwards[i + 1]() * backwards[i - 1]();
                }
            }

我不完全确定这是O(n),因为所创建的Funcs是半递归的,但我的测试似乎表明它在时间上是O(n)。

我的第一次尝试,用Python。O (2 n):

def product(l):
    product = 1
    num_zeroes = 0
    pos_zero = -1

    # Multiply all and set positions
    for i, x in enumerate(l):
        if x != 0:
            product *= x
            l[i] = 1.0/x
        else:
            num_zeroes += 1
            pos_zero = i

    # Warning! Zeroes ahead!
    if num_zeroes > 0:
        l = [0] * len(l)

        if num_zeroes == 1:
            l[pos_zero] = product

    else:
        # Now set the definitive elements
        for i in range(len(l)):
            l[i] = int(l[i] * product)

    return l


if __name__ == "__main__":
    print("[0, 0, 4] = " + str(product([0, 0, 4])))
    print("[3, 0, 4] = " + str(product([3, 0, 4])))
    print("[1, 2, 3] = " + str(product([1, 2, 3])))
    print("[2, 3, 4, 5, 6] = " + str(product([2, 3, 4, 5, 6])))
    print("[2, 1, 2, 2, 3] = " + str(product([2, 1, 2, 2, 3])))

输出:

[0, 0, 4] = [0, 0, 0]
[3, 0, 4] = [0, 12, 0]
[1, 2, 3] = [6, 3, 2]
[2, 3, 4, 5, 6] = [360, 240, 180, 144, 120]
[2, 1, 2, 2, 3] = [12, 24, 12, 12, 8]

我们正在分解数组的元素,首先从下标之前开始,即前缀,然后是下标或后缀之后

class Solution:

   def productExceptSelf(nums):

      length = len(nums)


      result = [1] * length


      prefix_product = 1


      postfix_product = 1

# we initialize the result and products


      for i in range(length)

      result[i] *= prefix_product


       prefix_product *= nums[i]

#we multiply the result by each number before the index

      for i in range(length-1,-1,-1)

      result[i] *= postfix_product


      postfix_product *= nums[i]

#same for after index
   return result
