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
.
Code:
<span style="font-size:14px;">class Solution {
public:
int maxProduct(int A[], int n) {
int maxPos, minNeg, prePositive = 0, preNegative = 0, positive, negative;
bool pos = false;
if (A[0] < 0) {
preNegative = A[0];
minNeg = A[0];
maxPos = INT_MIN;
}
else {
pos = true;
prePositive = A[0];
maxPos = A[0];
minNeg = INT_MIN;
}
for (int i = 1; i < n; ++i) {
if (A[i] > 0) {
pos = true;
positive = max(prePositive*A[i], A[i]);
negative = min(preNegative*A[i], A[i]);
} else if (A[i] < 0) {
positive = max(preNegative*A[i], A[i]);
negative = min(prePositive*A[i], A[i]);
} else {
positive = 0;
negative = 0;
}
if (positive > 0) pos = true;
maxPos = max(maxPos, positive);
minNeg = max(minNeg, negative);
prePositive = positive;
preNegative = negative;
}
if (pos) return maxPos;
else return minNeg;
}
