题意:求最大的子数组的积
一般这种题都是动态规划做的
因为是乘积,所以不仅要记下最大,还要记下最小
Example 1:
Input: [2,3,-2,4]
Output: 6
Explanation: [2,3] has the largest product 6.
Example 2:
Input: [-2,0,-1]
Output: 0
Explanation: The result cannot be 2, because [-2,-1] is not a subarray.
int maxProduct(int A[], int n) {
// store the result that is the max we have found so far
int r = A[0];
// imax/imin stores the max/min product of
// subarray that ends with the current number A[i]
for (int i = 1, imax = r, imin = r; i < n; i++) {
// multiplied by a negative makes big number smaller, small number bigger
// so we redefine the extremums by swapping them
if (A[i] < 0)
swap(imax, imin);
// max/min product for the current number is either the current number itself
// or the max/min by the previous number times the current one
imax = max(A[i], imax * A[i]);
imin = min(A[i], imin * A[i]);
// the newly computed max value is a candidate for our global result
r = max(r, imax);
}
return r;
}
