【LeetCode】152. Maximum Product Subarray

题目:  

Find the contiguous subarray within an array (containing at least one number) which has the largest product.

For example, given the array [2,3,-2,4],
the contiguous subarray [2,3] has the largest product = 6.

题解:

  先暴力解,遍历所有组合,更新最大值。很显然得超时。

Solution 1 (TLE)

class Solution {
public:
    int maxProduct(vector<int>& nums) {
        int n = nums.size(), mproduct = nums[0];
        for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) {
            int tmp = nums[i];
            mproduct = max(mproduct, tmp);
            for (int j = i + 1; j < n; ++j) {
                tmp = tmp * nums[j];
                mproduct = max(mproduct, tmp);
            }
        }
        return mproduct;
    }
};

  Besides keeping track of the largest product, we also need to keep track of the smallest product. Why? The smallest product, which is the largest in the negative sense could become the maximum when being multiplied by a negative number. (from here)

  Let us denote that:

f(k) = Largest product subarray, from index 0 up to k.

   Similarly,

g(k) = Smallest product subarray, from index 0 up to k.

   Then,

f(k) = max( f(k-1) * A[k], A[k], g(k-1) * A[k] )
g(k) = min( g(k-1) * A[k], A[k], f(k-1) * A[k] )

Solution 2 ()

class Solution {
public:
    int maxProduct(vector<int>& nums) {
        int maxPro = nums[0], minPro = nums[0], result = nums[0], n = nums.size();
        for (int i=1; i<n; i++) {
            int mx = maxPro, mn = minPro;
            maxPro = max(max(nums[i], mx * nums[i]), mn * nums[i]);
            minPro = min(min(nums[i], mx * nums[i]), mn * nums[i]);
            result = max(maxPro, result);
        }
        return result;
    }
};
