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;
}

这是ptyhon版本

  # This solution use O(n) time and O(n) space
  def productExceptSelf(self, nums):
    """
    :type nums: List[int]
    :rtype: List[int]
    """
    N = len(nums)
    if N == 0: return

    # Initialzie list of 1, size N
    l_prods, r_prods = [1]*N, [1]*N

    for i in range(1, N):
      l_prods[i] = l_prods[i-1] * nums[i-1]

    for i in reversed(range(N-1)):
      r_prods[i] = r_prods[i+1] * nums[i+1]

    result = [x*y for x,y in zip(l_prods,r_prods)]
    return result

  # This solution use O(n) time and O(1) space
  def productExceptSelfSpaceOptimized(self, nums):
    """
    :type nums: List[int]
    :rtype: List[int]
    """
    N = len(nums)
    if N == 0: return

    # Initialzie list of 1, size N
    result = [1]*N

    for i in range(1, N):
      result[i] = result[i-1] * nums[i-1]

    r_prod = 1
    for i in reversed(range(N)):
      result[i] *= r_prod
      r_prod *= nums[i]

    return result

我习惯使用c#:

    public int[] ProductExceptSelf(int[] nums)
    {
        int[] returnArray = new int[nums.Length];
        List<int> auxList = new List<int>();
        int multTotal = 0;

        // If no zeros are contained in the array you only have to calculate it once
        if(!nums.Contains(0))
        {
            multTotal = nums.ToList().Aggregate((a, b) => a * b);

            for (int i = 0; i < nums.Length; i++)
            {
                returnArray[i] = multTotal / nums[i];
            }
        }
        else
        {
            for (int i = 0; i < nums.Length; i++)
            {
                auxList = nums.ToList();
                auxList.RemoveAt(i);
                if (!auxList.Contains(0))
                {
                    returnArray[i] = auxList.Aggregate((a, b) => a * b);
                }
                else
                {
                    returnArray[i] = 0;
                }
            }
        }            

        return returnArray;
    }

下面是一个使用c#的函数式示例:

            Func<long>[] backwards = new Func<long>[input.Length];
            Func<long>[] forwards = new Func<long>[input.Length];

            for (int i = 0; i < input.Length; ++i)
            {
                var localIndex = i;
                backwards[i] = () => (localIndex > 0 ? backwards[localIndex - 1]() : 1) * input[localIndex];
                forwards[i] = () => (localIndex < input.Length - 1 ? forwards[localIndex + 1]() : 1) * input[localIndex];
            }

            var output = new long[input.Length];
            for (int i = 0; i < input.Length; ++i)
            {
                if (0 == i)
                {
                    output[i] = forwards[i + 1]();
                }
                else if (input.Length - 1 == i)
                {
                    output[i] = backwards[i - 1]();
                }
                else
                {
                    output[i] = forwards[i + 1]() * backwards[i - 1]();
                }
            }

我不完全确定这是O(n),因为所创建的Funcs是半递归的,但我的测试似乎表明它在时间上是O(n)。

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);

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];
}
