Product of Array Except Self

Given an integer array nums, return an array answer such that answer[i] is equal to the product of all the elements of nums except nums[i].

The product of any prefix or suffix of nums is guaranteed to fit in a 32-bit integer.

You must write an algorithm that runs in O(n) time and without using the division operation.

**

Example 1:

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

**

Example 2:

** Input: nums = [-1,1,0,-3,3] Output: [0,0,9,0,0]

**

Constraints:

**

  • 2 <= nums.length <= 10^5
  • -30 <= nums[i] <= 30
  • The product of any prefix or suffix of nums is guaranteed to fit in a 32-bit integer.

Follow up: Can you solve the problem in O(1) extra space complexity? (The output array does not count as extra space for space complexity analysis.)

Hi — I'm a 21yo CS grad from India. I built ClearCode while recovering from a surgery, because I genuinely believe DSA should be visual, free, and accessible to everyone. No VC funding. No team. Just me, my laptop, and a lot of chai. ☕

If ClearCode helped you understand even one concept — consider supporting it. Every rupee keeps the servers running and new videos coming.
