152. Maximum Product Subarray

Medium

Given an integer array nums, find a contiguous non-empty subarray within the array that has the largest product, and return the product.

The test cases are generated so that the answer will fit in a 32-bit integer.

A subarray is a contiguous subsequence of the array.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [2,3,-2,4]

Output: 6

Explanation: [2,3] has the largest product 6.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [-2,0,-1]

Output: 0

Explanation: The result cannot be 2, because [-2,-1] is not a subarray.

Constraints:

Solution

/**
 * @param {number[]} nums
 * @return {number}
 */
var maxProduct = function(nums) {
    let overAllMaxProd = Number.MIN_SAFE_INTEGER
    let n = nums.length
    let start = 1
    let end = 1

    for (let i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        if (start === 0) {
            start = 1
        }
        if (end === 0) {
            end = 1
        }

        start *= nums[i]
        end *= nums[n - i - 1]

        overAllMaxProd = Math.max(overAllMaxProd, Math.max(start, end))
    }

    return overAllMaxProd
};

export { maxProduct }
