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。

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);

{-
Recursive solution using sqrt(n) subsets. Runs in O(n).

Recursively computes the solution on sqrt(n) subsets of size sqrt(n). 
Then recurses on the product sum of each subset.
Then for each element in each subset, it computes the product with
the product sum of all other products.
Then flattens all subsets.

Recurrence on the run time is T(n) = sqrt(n)*T(sqrt(n)) + T(sqrt(n)) + n

Suppose that T(n) ≤ cn in O(n).

T(n) = sqrt(n)*T(sqrt(n)) + T(sqrt(n)) + n
    ≤ sqrt(n)*c*sqrt(n) + c*sqrt(n) + n
    ≤ c*n + c*sqrt(n) + n
    ≤ (2c+1)*n
    ∈ O(n)

Note that ceiling(sqrt(n)) can be computed using a binary search 
and O(logn) iterations, if the sqrt instruction is not permitted.

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;
}
int[] b = new int[] { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };            
int j;
for(int i=0;i<b.Length;i++)
{
  int prod = 1;
  int s = b[i];
  for(j=i;j<b.Length-1;j++)
  {
    prod = prod * b[j + 1];
  }
int pos = i;    
while(pos!=-1)
{
  pos--;
  if(pos!=-1)
     prod = prod * b[pos];                    
}
Console.WriteLine("\n Output is {0}",prod);
}

O(n)时间的简洁解:

对于每个元素,计算在它之前出现的所有元素的乘积,并将其存储在数组“pre”中。 对于每个元素,计算该元素之后所有元素的乘积,并将其存储在数组“post”中 为元素i创建一个最终数组result, 结果[i] = pre[i-1]*post[i+1];

这是我的代码:

int multiply(int a[],int n,int nextproduct,int i)
{
    int prevproduct=1;
    if(i>=n)
        return prevproduct;
    prevproduct=multiply(a,n,nextproduct*a[i],i+1);
    printf(" i=%d > %d\n",i,prevproduct*nextproduct);
    return prevproduct*a[i];
}

int main()
{
    int a[]={2,4,1,3,5};
    multiply(a,5,1,0);
    return 0;
}
