Program for multiplication of array elements

  • Difficulty Level : Easy
  • Last Updated : 07 May, 2021

We are given an array, and we have to calculate the product of an array using both iterative and recursive methods. 

Examples:  

Attention reader! All those who say programming isn't for kids, just haven't met the right mentors yet. Join the  Demo Class for First Step to Coding Course, specifically designed for students of class 8 to 12. 

The students will get to learn more about the world of programming in these free classes which will definitely help them in making a wise career choice in the future.

Input : array[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
Output : 720
Here, product of elements = 1*2*3*4*5*6 = 720

Input : array[] = {1, 3, 5, 7, 9}
Output : 945

Iterative Method: 
We initialize result as 1. We traverse array from left to right and multiply elements with results. 
 



C++




// Iterative C++ program to
// multiply array elements
#include<bits/stdc++.h>
 
using namespace std;
 
// Function to calculate the
// product of the array
int multiply(int array[], int n)
{
    int pro = 1;
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
        pro = pro * array[i];
    return pro;
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    int array[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6};
    int n = sizeof(array) / sizeof(array[0]);
     
    // Function call to calculate product
    cout << multiply(array, n);
    return 0;
}
Java



// Iterative Java program to
// multiply array elements
class GFG
{
    static int arr[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6};
     
    // Method to calculate the
    // product of the array
    static int multiply()
    {
        int pro = 1;
        for (int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++)
            pro = pro * arr[i];
        return pro;
    }
     
    // Driver Code
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        // Method call to calculate product
        System.out.println(multiply());
        }
}
Python3



# Iterative Python3 code to
# multiply list elements
 
# Function to calculate
# the product of the array
def multiply( array , n ):
    pro = 1
    for i in range(n):
        pro = pro * array[i]
    return pro
 
# Driver code
array = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
n = len(array)
 
# Function call to
# calculate product
print(multiply(array, n))

// Iterative C# program to
// multiply array elements
using System;
 
class GFG
{
    static int []arr = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6};
     
    // Method to calculate the
    // product of the array
    static int multiply()
    {
        int pro = 1;
        for (int i = 0; i < arr.Length; i++)
            pro = pro * arr[i];
        return pro;

    // Driver Code
    public static void Main()
    {
        // Method call to calculate product
        Console.Write(multiply());
    }

<?php
// Iterative PHP program to

// Function to calculate the
// product of the array
function multiply($arr, $n)
{
    $pro = 1;
    for ($i = 0; $i < $n; $i++)
        $pro = $pro * $arr[$i];
    return $pro;
}
 
// Driver Code
$arr = array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6);
$n = sizeof($arr) / sizeof($arr[0]);
 
// Function call to

echo multiply($arr, $n);
return 0;

int multiply(int a[], int n)
{

    int array[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6};
    int n = sizeof(array) / sizeof(array[0]);
 
    // Function call to
    // calculate the product
