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

defmodule Solution do
  @spec max_product(nums :: [integer]) :: integer
  def max_product(nums) do
    nums
    |> Stream.chunk_by(& &1 == 0)
    |> Stream.map(&max_prod/1)
    |> Enum.max()
  end
      
  defp max_prod([0 | _]), do: 0
                            
  defp max_prod([n]), do: n
                            
  defp max_prod(chunk) do
    prod = Enum.product(chunk)
    max(
      div_till_pos(prod, chunk),
      div_till_pos(prod, Enum.reverse(chunk))
    )
  end
      
  defp div_till_pos(prod, _) when prod > 0, do: prod
  defp div_till_pos(prod, [n | t]), do: prod |> div(n) |> div_till_pos(t)
end
