Program for multiplication of array elements

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

Examples:

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. 

Implementation:

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
import java.io.*;
public 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());
        }
}
