Find the thirteen adjacent digits in the 1000-digit number that have the greatest product. What is the value of this product?    

看到这题目的那一刻,感觉有点棘手,但是仔细分析起来也还好,并不是很难。

题目给出的序列是一个很规矩的数字组合。我们可以考虑把它存放到等长的二维数组里面,当然也可以直接存放到一位数组。这里我存放到二维数组里面了。

首先,我先把序列进行简化来说明。假设我有以下序列,并存放到二维数组里面。

【Project Euler 8】Largest product in a series

我从上到下依次给每个数组元素进行编号。

假设我们要找相连的T个数字的乘积最大值,我们可以设置标记从1号位置开始,直到36号位置结束(为什么是36号位置结束呢?这个应该不用解释吧)。当然这里不是每个位置都需要我们处理,稍后我会说我们怎么跳过部分不需要处理的位置。

但是这里还有一个问题就是:我们使用的是二维数组存放,我们需要把我们的位置编号计算成二维数组的行号和列号。因为是数组是规矩的,所以我们计算起来还是挺方便的。

假设我们的标记位置为i,数组的二维长度是n(这里是10),则

行号rowIndex=i/n,而列号columnIndex=i%n;

好了,下一步我们来说如何跳过某些位置。我们知道0乘以任何数都得0,所以在0的位置以及0前面T-1个位置都是可以不用计算的,可以直接跳过。

例如:当前位置为i,数字0的位置为j(j-i<T),则下一次开始计算位置应该为j+1。下面是用java写出来的简单代码。
