Java Program for Products of ranges in an array

Given an array A[] of size N. Solve Q queries. Find the product in the range [L, R] under modulo P ( P is Prime). 

Examples:  

Input : A[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} 
          L = 2, R = 5, P = 229
Output : 120

Input : A[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6},
         L = 2, R = 5, P = 113
Output : 7 

Brute Force
For each of the queries, traverse each element in the range [L, R] and calculate the product under modulo P. This will answer each query in O(N).  

Java




// Product in range Queries in O(N)
import java.io.*;
 
class GFG
{
     
    // Function to calculate
    // Product in the given range.
    static int calculateProduct(int []A, int L,
                                int R, int P)
    {
         
        // As our array is 0 based as
        // and L and R are given as 1
        // based index.
        L = L - 1;
        R = R - 1;
     
        int ans = 1;
        for (int i = L; i <= R; i++)
        {
            ans = ans * A[i];
            ans = ans % P;
        }
     
        return ans;
    }
     
    // Driver code
    static public void main (String[] args)
    {
        int []A = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 };
        int P = 229;
        int L = 2, R = 5;
        System.out.println(
            calculateProduct(A, L, R, P));
     
        L = 1;
        R = 3;
        System.out.println(
            calculateProduct(A, L, R, P));
    }
}

Efficient Using Modular Multiplicative Inverse:
As P is prime, we can use Modular Multiplicative Inverse. Using dynamic programming, we can calculate a pre-product array under modulo P such that the value at index i contains the product in the range [0, i]. Similarly, we can calculate the pre-inverse product under modulo P. Now each query can be answered in O(1). 
The inverse product array contains the inverse product in the range [0, i] at index i. So, for the query [L, R], the answer will be Product[R]*InverseProduct[L-1]
Note: We can not calculate the answer as Product[R]/Product[L-1] because the product is calculated under modulo P. If we do not calculate the product under modulo P there is always a possibility of overflow.  

Java




// Java program to find Product
// in range Queries in O(1)
class GFG
{
 
static int MAX = 100;
int pre_product[] = new int[MAX];
int inverse_product[] = new int[MAX];
 
// Returns modulo inverse of a
// with respect to m using extended
// Euclid Algorithm Assumption: a
// and m are coprimes,
// i.e., gcd(a, m) = 1
int modInverse(int a, int m)
{
    int m0 = m, t, q;
    int x0 = 0, x1 = 1;
 
    if (m == 1)
        return 0;
 
    while (a > 1)
    {
 
        // q is quotient
        q = a / m;
 
        t = m;
 
        // m is remainder now,
        // process same as
        // Euclid's algo
        m = a % m;
        a = t;
 
        t = x0;
 
        x0 = x1 - q * x0;
 
        x1 = t;
    }
 
    // Make x1 positive
    if (x1 < 0)
        x1 += m0;
 
    return x1;
}

                                                     P);
