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

//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;
}

其他回答

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]"

这个解决方案可以被认为是C/ c++的。 假设我们有一个包含n个元素的数组a 像a[n]一样,那么伪代码将如下所示。

for(j=0;j<n;j++)
  { 
    prod[j]=1;

    for (i=0;i<n;i++)
    {   
        if(i==j)
        continue;  
        else
        prod[j]=prod[j]*a[i];
  }

php版本 使用不除法的array_product函数。 如果我们将i的值临时设为1,那么数组product将完全满足我们的需要

<?php
function product($key, $arr)
{
    $arr[$key] = 1;
    return array_product($arr);
};
$arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
$newarr = array();


foreach ($arr as $key => $value) {

    $newarr[$key] = product($key, $arr);
}
print_r($newarr);

下面是我使用python的简洁解决方案。

from functools import reduce

def excludeProductList(nums_):
    after = [reduce(lambda x, y: x*y, nums_[i:]) for i in range(1, len(nums_))] + [1]
    before = [1] + [reduce(lambda x, y: x*y, nums_[:i]) for i in range(1, len(nums_))]
    zippedList =  list(zip(before, after))
    finalList = list(map(lambda x: x[0]*x[1], zippedList))
    return finalList
