Given an integer array, find three numbers whose product is maximum and output the maximum product.
Example 1:
Input: [1,2,3]
Output: 6
Example 2:
Input: [1,2,3,4]
Output: 24
Note:
The length of the given array will be in range [3,104] and all elements are in the range [-1000, 1000].
Multiplication of any three numbers in the input won't exceed the range of 32-bit signed integer.
第一步 应该都是先排序,关键是后面的几步。(负数的情况 ,有0的情况)
刚开始并没有考虑那么多,到后面时 一种一种情况 分类 感觉太麻烦。便遇见一个 方便的解法:【排序过后,依次讨论前三个,后三个,以及后两个跟第一个,前两个跟最后一个。】
即 可能出现最大值的 情况一共有四种,分别是前三个,后三个,以及后两个跟第一个,前两个跟最后一个的乘积。代码如下:
public int maximumProduct(int[] nums) {
Arrays.sort(nums);
int n = nums.length;
int s = nums[n-1] * nums[n-2] * nums[n-3];
s = Math.max(s, nums[n-1] * nums[n-2] * nums[0]);
s = Math.max(s, nums[n-1] * nums[1] * nums[0]);
s = Math.max(s, nums[2] * nums[1] * nums[0]);
return s;
}
