Given an array of n integers where n > 1, nums
, return an arrayoutput
such thatoutput[i]
is equal to the product of all the elements ofnums
exceptnums[i]
.
Solve it without division and in O(n).
For example, given [1,2,3,4]
, return [24,12,8,6]
.
Follow up:
Could you solve it with constant space complexity? (Note: The output array does not count as extra space for the purpose of space complexity analysis.)

1) for each element A[i], compute two numbers

b[i]: equal to product A[i+1...n)
2) so for each A[i],its product is f[i]*b[i]
