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。
我们可以先从列表中排除nums[j](其中j != i),然后得到其余部分的乘积;下面是python解决这个难题的方法:
from functools import reduce
def products(nums):
return [ reduce(lambda x,y: x * y, nums[:i] + nums[i+1:]) for i in range(len(nums)) ]
print(products([1, 2, 3, 4, 5]))
[out]
[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。
//这是Java中的递归解决方案
//从main product(a,1,0)调用如下;
public static double product(double[] a, double fwdprod, int index){
double revprod = 1;
if (index < a.length){
revprod = product2(a, fwdprod*a[index], index+1);
double cur = a[index];
a[index] = fwdprod * revprod;
revprod *= cur;
}
return revprod;
}
