leetcode628.Maximum Product of Three Numbers三个数的最大乘积

问题描述:

  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.

思路:

  求三个数的最大乘积,要考虑数值为正还是为负。首先可以利用Arrays.sort()进行排序,得到最大值。如果最大值为负值,则数组中所有的值都为负值,最大的乘积就是最后三位数字的乘积;如果最大值为正值,则数组中可能存在负值,若都为正值,最大乘积为最后三位的乘积,若存在负值,可能最大值为最大数与前两位的乘积。

代码

class Solution {
    public int maximumProduct(int[] nums) {

        Arrays.sort(nums);
        int len = nums.length;
        if(nums[len-1]<0)
            return nums[len-1]*nums[len-2]*nums[len-3];
        int a = nums[len-1]*nums[len-2]*nums[len-3];
        int b = nums[len-1]*nums[0]*nums[1];
        return a > b ? a : b;
    }
}
