Can we take product of all array elements = O(N). Now, for each element in the array, divide the product by the number at that index = O(N). Will it work?

O(n) is the straightforward solution by first iterating the array for products, and then one more iteration, for diving the product with each of value at index. Can we do better than O(n) ?

Here test cases handled
Case 1: when no zero
ex: 1 2 3 4 5   => 120, 60, 40, 30, 24

Case 2: when one zero
ex: 1 2 3 0 =>  0, 0, 0, 6

Case 3: when two zero
ex: 1 0 0 2 => 0, 0, 0, 0

Logic is simple :
1) find the sum of total array and divide it by the number in each position
- {1,2,3} -> {6,6,6} -> {6/1, 6/2, 6/3} -> {6,3,2}

void Multiply(int[] arr) {
int[] mapArr = new int[arr.length];
int prod = 1;
for(int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
prod *= arr[i];
}

for(int i = 0; i < mapArr.length; i++) {
mapArr[i] = prod;
}

for(int i = 0; i < mapArr.length; i++) {
arr[i] = mapArr[i] / arr[i];
System.out.println(arr[i]);
}

Solution of O(n^2):

public int[] prodWithoutIndex(int[] arr) {
	int len = arr.length;
	int[] prodWithoutIndexArr = new int[len];
	for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) {
		int prodWithoutIndex = 1;
		for (int j = 0; j < len; j++) {
			if (j != i)
				prodWithoutIndex = prodWithoutIndex*arr[j];
		}
		prodWithoutIndexArr[i] = prodWithoutIndex;
	}
	return prodWithoutIndexArr;
}

Better solution with runtime O(n):

public int[] getProdWithoutInd2(int[] arr) {
	int len = arr.length;
	int prod = 1;
	for (int i = 0; i < len; i++)
		prod = prod*arr[i];
	int[] prodWithoutIndexArr = new int[len];
	for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) {
		prodWithoutIndexArr[i] = prod/arr[i];
	}
	return prodWithoutIndexArr;
}

I haven't tested the above code, but should work fine

O(n) solution-

The idea is is keeping the values in array multiplied from the last element index and using the multiplied value for calculating the previous value.

-Traverse array from last
-pickup element from last-1(not required for last element to multiply)
- multiply it multiply it by last element(it is multiplied value for next iteration)
-store it value at current index
-repeat above step until first element

Python solution:

def arraymultiplication(input):
	output = []
	length = len(input)
	mul = 1
	for i in input:
		mul*=i

	for i in input:
                if i == 0:
                   i = 1
		output.append(mul/i)

	print(output)

def main():
	input = [1,2,3,4,5]
	arraymultiplication(input)

if __name__ == "__main__":
	main()

Here you go for O(n) solution in C++11:

#include<iostream>
int main ()

   int arr1[]= {1,2,3,4,5};
   int arr2[5];
   
   arr2[0] = 1;
   
   for( auto& val : arr1)
   {
       arr2[0] *= val;
   }    
   
   for( int i = 1; i < 5; ++i)
   {
       arr2[i] = arr2[0] / (i+1);
   }
   
    for( auto& val : arr2)
   {
      std::cout << val << "\n";
