Given an integer array nums, return an array answer such that answer[i] is equal to the product of all the elements of nums except nums[i].
The product of any prefix or suffix of nums is guaranteed to fit in a 32-bit integer.
You must write an algorithm that runs in O(n) time and without using the division operation.
Example 1:
Input: nums = [1,2,3,4]
Output: [24,12,8,6]
Example 2:
Input: nums = [-1,1,0,-3,3]
Output: [0,0,9,0,0]
Constraints:
2 <= nums.length <= 10^5-30 <= nums[i] <= 30answer[i] is guaranteed to fit in a 32-bit integer.Follow up: Can you solve the problem in O(1) extra space complexity? (The output array does not count as extra space for space complexity analysis.)

// Solution 1: Prefix product * suffix product. Does not use division; time complexity O(n), space complexity O(1) excluding the output array.

n := len(nums)
res := make([]int, n)
// res[i] first stores the product of all elements to the left of nums[i]
res[0] = 1
for i := 1; i < n; i++ {
res[i] = res[i-1] * nums[i-1]
}
// Then multiply from right to left by the product of all elements to the right of nums[i]; right accumulates the suffix product
right := 1
for i := n - 1; i >= 0; i-- {
res[i] *= right
right *= nums[i]
