JavaScript算法试题系列-01

题目要求：

var firstArray = [2, 2, 4, 1];
var secondArray = [0, 0, 0, 2];
var thirdArray = [-2, -2, -3, 2];

productExceptSelf(firstArray); // [8, 8, 4, 16]
productExceptSelf(secondArray); // [0, 0, 0, 0]
productExceptSelf(thirdArray); // [12, 12, 8, -12]

解答：

function productExceptSelf(numArray) {
  var product = 1;
  var size = numArray.length;
  var output = [];

  // From first array: [1, 2, 4, 16]
  // The last number in this case is already in the right spot (allows for us)
  // to just multiply by 1 in the next step.
  // This step essentially gets the product to the left of the index at index + 1
  for (var x = 0; x < size; x++) {
      output.push(product);
      product = product * numArray[x];
  }

  // From the back, we multiply the current output element (which represents the product
  // on the left of the index, and multiplies it by the product on the right of the element)
  var product = 1;
  for (var i = size - 1; i > -1; i--) {
      output[i] = output[i] * product;
      product = product * numArray[i];
  }

  return output;
}
