Problem: Maximum Product Subarray
Given an integer array nums
, find a
subarray
the product
The test cases are generated so that the answer will fit in a 32-bit integer.
Example 1:
Input: nums = [2,3,-2,4]
Output: 6
Explanation: [2,3] has the largest product 6.
Example 2:
Input: nums = [-2,0,-1]
Output: 0
Explanation: The result cannot be 2, because [-2,-1] is not a subarray.
Constraints:
1 <= nums.length <= 2 * 10<sup>4</sup>
-10 <= nums[i] <= 10
The product of any prefix or suffix of
nums
is guaranteed to fit in a 32-bit integer.
class Solution {
public int maxProduct(int[] nums) {
int max = nums[0], min = nums[0], ans = nums[0];
int n = nums.length;
for (int i = 1; i < n; i++) {
// Swapping min and max
if (nums[i] < 0){
int temp = max;
max = min;
min = temp;
}
max = Math.max(nums[i], max * nums[i]);
min = Math.min(nums[i], min * nums[i]);
ans = Math.max(ans, max);
}
return ans;
}
}
