A non-empty zero-indexed array A consisting of N integers is given. The product of triplet (P, Q, R) equates to A[P] * A[Q] * A[R] (0 ≤ P < Q < R < N).
For example, array A such that:
A[0] = -3 A[1] = 1 A[2] = 2 A[3] = -2 A[4] = 5 A[5] = 6 contains the following example triplets:
(0, 1, 2), product is −3 * 1 * 2 = −6 (1, 2, 4), product is 1 * 2 * 5 = 10 (2, 4, 5), product is 2 * 5 * 6 = 60 Your goal is to find the maximal product of any triplet.
Write a function:
class Solution { public int solution(int[] A); }
that, given a non-empty zero-indexed array A, returns the value of the maximal product of any triplet.
For example, given array A such that:
A[0] = -3 A[1] = 1 A[2] = 2 A[3] = -2 A[4] = 5 A[5] = 6 the function should return 60, as the product of triplet (2, 4, 5) is maximal.
Assume that:
N is an integer within the range [3..100,000]; each element of array A is an integer within the range [−1,000..1,000]. Complexity:
expected worst-case time complexity is O(N*log(N)); expected worst-case space complexity is O(1), beyond input storage (not counting the storage required for input arguments).
