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。

这里有一个小的递归函数(在c++中)来进行修改。它需要O(n)额外的空间(在堆栈上)。假设数组在a中,N表示数组长度,我们有:

int multiply(int *a, int fwdProduct, int indx) {
    int revProduct = 1;
    if (indx < N) {
       revProduct = multiply(a, fwdProduct*a[indx], indx+1);
       int cur = a[indx];
       a[indx] = fwdProduct * revProduct;
       revProduct *= cur;
    }
    return revProduct;
}

def productify(arr, prod, i):
    if i < len(arr):
        prod.append(arr[i - 1] * prod[i - 1]) if i > 0 else prod.append(1)
        retval = productify(arr, prod, i + 1)
        prod[i] *= retval
        return retval * arr[i]
    return 1

if __name__ == "__main__":
    arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
    prod = []
    productify(arr, prod, 0)
    print(prod)

最近有人问我这个问题,虽然我不能得到O(N),但我有一个不同的方法(不幸的是O(N²)),但我想无论如何都要分享。

首先转换为列表<Integer>。

遍历原始数组array.length()次。

使用while循环乘下一组所需的数字:

while (temp < list.size() - 1) {
    res *= list.get(temp);
    temp++;
}

然后将res添加到一个新数组(当然,您已经在前面声明了),然后将数组[i]的值添加到List,依此类推。

我知道这不会有太大的用处,但这是我在面试的压力下想到的:)

    int[] array = new int[]{1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
    List<Integer> list = Arrays.stream(array).boxed().collect(Collectors.toList());
    int[] newarray = new int[array.length];
    int res = 1;
    for (int i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {
        int temp = i;
        while (temp < list.size() - 1) {
            res *= list.get(temp);
            temp++;
        }
        newarray[i] = res;
        list.add(array[i]);
        res = 1;
    }

输出:[24,120,60,40,30]

{-
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.

下面是我用现代c++编写的解决方案。它使用std::transform,很容易记住。

在线代码(wandbox)。

#include<algorithm>
#include<iostream>
#include<vector>

using namespace std;

vector<int>& multiply_up(vector<int>& v){
    v.insert(v.begin(),1);
    transform(v.begin()+1, v.end()
             ,v.begin()
             ,v.begin()+1
             ,[](auto const& a, auto const& b) { return b*a; }
             );
    v.pop_back();
    return v;
}

int main() {
    vector<int> v = {1,2,3,4,5};
    auto vr = v;

    reverse(vr.begin(),vr.end());
    multiply_up(v);
    multiply_up(vr);
    reverse(vr.begin(),vr.end());

    transform(v.begin(),v.end()
             ,vr.begin()
             ,v.begin()
             ,[](auto const& a, auto const& b) { return b*a; }
             );

    for(auto& i: v) cout << i << " ";
