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。

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]

JavaScript中使用reduce的变体

const getProduct = arr => arr。Reduce ((acc, value) => acc * value); const arrayWithExclusion = (arr, node) => 加勒比海盗。Reduce ((acc, val, j) => (node !== j ?)[…Acc, val]: Acc), []); const getproductwitheexclusion = arr => { Let result = []; 对于(设I = 0;I < arrr .length;I += 1) { 结果。推动(getProduct (arrayWithExclusion(加勒比海盗,我))); } 返回结果; };

多基因润滑剂方法的一个解释是:

诀窍是构造数组(在4个元素的情况下):

{              1,         a[0],    a[0]*a[1],    a[0]*a[1]*a[2],  }
{ a[1]*a[2]*a[3],    a[2]*a[3],         a[3],                 1,  }

这两种方法都可以在O(n)中分别从左右边开始。

然后,将两个数组逐个元素相乘,得到所需的结果。

我的代码看起来是这样的:

int a[N] // This is the input
int products_below[N];
int p = 1;
for (int i = 0; i < N; ++i) {
    products_below[i] = p;
    p *= a[i];
}

int products_above[N];
p = 1;
for (int i = N - 1; i >= 0; --i) {
    products_above[i] = p;
    p *= a[i];
}

int products[N]; // This is the result
for (int i = 0; i < N; ++i) {
    products[i] = products_below[i] * products_above[i];
}

如果你也需要空间中的解是O(1),你可以这样做(在我看来不太清楚):

int a[N] // This is the input
int products[N];

// Get the products below the current index
int p = 1;
for (int i = 0; i < N; ++i) {
    products[i] = p;
    p *= a[i];
}

// Get the products above the current index
p = 1;
for (int i = N - 1; i >= 0; --i) {
    products[i] *= p;
    p *= a[i];
}

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]"

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 << " "; 
}

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;
}
