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。

给你,简单干净的解决方案,复杂度为O(N):

int[] a = {1,2,3,4,5};
    int[] r = new int[a.length];
    int x = 1;
    r[0] = 1;
    for (int i=1;i<a.length;i++){
        r[i]=r[i-1]*a[i-1];
    }
    for (int i=a.length-1;i>0;i--){
        x=x*a[i];
        r[i-1]=x*r[i-1];
    }
    for (int i=0;i<r.length;i++){
        System.out.println(r[i]);
    }

其他回答

还有一个解决方案,使用除法。有两次遍历。 把所有元素相乘,然后除以每个元素。

试试这个!

import java.util.*;
class arrProduct
{
 public static void main(String args[])
     {
         //getting the size of the array
         Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in);
            int noe = s.nextInt();

        int out[]=new int[noe];
         int arr[] = new int[noe];

         // getting the input array
         for(int k=0;k<noe;k++)
         {
             arr[k]=s.nextInt();
         }

         int val1 = 1,val2=1;
         for(int i=0;i<noe;i++)
         {
             int res=1;

                 for(int j=1;j<noe;j++)
                 {
                if((i+j)>(noe-1))
                {

                    int diff = (i+j)-(noe);

                    if(arr[diff]!=0)
                    {
                    res = res * arr[diff];
                    }
                }

                else
                {
                    if(arr[i+j]!=0)
                    {
                    res= res*arr[i+j];
                    }
                }


             out[i]=res;

         }
         }

         //printing result
         System.out.print("Array of Product: [");
         for(int l=0;l<out.length;l++)
         {
             if(l!=out.length-1)
             {
            System.out.print(out[l]+",");
             }
             else
             {
                 System.out.print(out[l]);
             }
         }
         System.out.print("]");
     }

}

Efficient: use two iterations of an aggregate product
We need two iterations, because one aggregate goes from last-to-first

使用Node.js v4.4.5运行:

Node—harmony integerarrays.js

function: multiplier0
Test #0: input: [ 1, 2, 3 ] output: [ 2, 3, 6 ]
Test #1: input: [ 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ] output: [ 120, 144, 180, 240, 360 ]
function: multiplier
Test #0: input: [ 1, 2, 3 ] output: [ 2, 3, 6 ]
Test #1: input: [ 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ] output: [ 120, 144, 180, 240, 360 ]
function: multiplier2
Test #0: input: [ 1, 2, 3 ] output: [ 2, 3, 6 ]
Test #1: input: [ 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ] output: [ 120, 144, 180, 240, 360 ]

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]

下面是另一个简单的概念,可以解决O(N)中的问题。

        int[] arr = new int[] {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
        int[] outArray = new int[arr.length]; 
        for(int i=0;i<arr.length;i++){
            int res=Arrays.stream(arr).reduce(1, (a, b) -> a * b);
            outArray[i] = res/arr[i];
        }
        System.out.println(Arrays.toString(outArray));
