Find the contiguous subarray within an array (containing at least one number) which has the largest product.
For example, given the array [2,3,-2,4], the contiguous subarray [2,3] has the largest product = 6.
在一个数组中,寻找一个连续子数组使得成绩最大。
这题是求数组中子区间的最大乘积,对于乘法,我们需要注意,负数乘以负数,会变成正数,所以解这题的时候我们需要维护两个变量,当前的最大值,以及最小值,最小值可能为负数,但没准下一步乘以一个负数,当前的最大值就变成最小值,而最小值则变成最大值了。
