Product of Array Except Self

Given an array nums of n integers where n > 1,  return an array output such that output[i] is equal to the product of all the elements of nums except nums[i].

Example:

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

Note: Please solve it without division and in O(n).

Follow up:
Could you solve it with constant space complexity? (The output array does notcount as extra space for the purpose of space complexity analysis.)

 

Solution:

Building left side product list & right side product list.

Times two lists together.

class Solution {
    public int[] productExceptSelf(int[] nums) {
        int n = nums.length;
        int[] leftSide = new int[n];
        leftSide[0] = 1;
        for (int i = 1; i < n; i++) {
            leftSide[i] = leftSide[i - 1] * nums[i - 1];
        }
        
        int[] rightSide = new int[n];
        rightSide[n - 1] = 1;
        for (int i = n - 2; i >= 0; i--) {
            rightSide[i] = rightSide[i + 1] * nums[i + 1];
        }
        
        int[] res = new int[n];
        for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
            res[i] = leftSide[i] * rightSide[i];
        }
        
        return res;
    }
}

 

Time complexity: O(n).

Space complexity: O(n).
