Question Definition
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.
Java Solution
public int maxProduct(int[] nums) {
if (nums == null || nums.length == 0) {
return 0;
}
int max = nums[0], min = nums[0], result = nums[0];
for (int i = 1; i < nums.length; i++) {
int temp = max;
max = Math.max(Math.max(max * nums[i], min * nums[i]), nums[i]);
min = Math.min(Math.min(temp * nums[i], min * nums[i]), nums[i]);
if (max > result) {
result = max;
}
}
return result;
}
