Problem Statement

238. Product of Array Except Self

Medium


Given an integer array nums, return an array answer such that answer[i] is equal to the product of all the elements of nums except nums[i].

The product of any prefix or suffix of nums is guaranteed to fit in a 32-bit integer.

You must write an algorithm that runs in O(n) time and without using the division operation.

 

Example 1:

Input: nums = [1,2,3,4]
Output: [24,12,8,6]

Example 2:

Input: nums = [-1,1,0,-3,3]
Output: [0,0,9,0,0]

 

Constraints:

 

Follow up: Can you solve the problem in O(1) extra space complexity? (The output array does not count as extra space for space complexity analysis.)

        Arrays.fill(ans, 1);
        for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
            ans[i] *= prefix;
            ans[n - 1 - i] *= suffix;
            prefix *= nums[i];
            suffix *= nums[n - 1 - i];
        }
        return ans;
