Product Sum
R
"""
Calculate the Product Sum from a Special Array.
reference: https://dev.to/sfrasica/algorithms-product-sum-from-an-array-dc6
Python doctests can be run with the following command:
python -m doctest -v product_sum.py
Calculate the product sum of a "special" array which can contain integers or nested
arrays. The product sum is obtained by adding all elements and multiplying by their
respective depths.
For example, in the array [x, y], the product sum is (x + y). In the array [x, [y, z]],
the product sum is x + 2 * (y + z). In the array [x, [y, [z]]],
the product sum is x + 2 * (y + 3z).
Example Input:
[5, 2, [-7, 1], 3, [6, [-13, 8], 4]]
Output: -12

"""
Recursively calculates the product sum of an array.
The product sum of an array is defined as the sum of its elements multiplied by
their respective depths. If an element is a list, its product sum is calculated
recursively by multiplying the sum of its elements with its depth plus one.
Args:
arr: The array of integers and nested lists.
depth: The current depth level.
Returns:
int: The product sum of the array.
Examples:
>>> product_sum([1, 2, 3], 1)
6
>>> product_sum([-1, 2, [-3, 4]], 2)
8
>>> product_sum([1, 2, 3], -1)

def product_sum_iterative(arr: list[int | list]) -> int:
"""
It Calculates the product sum of an array using iterative approach.
It's similar to BFS algorithm (Breadth first search algorithm).
It's won't run into stack overflow as compared to recursion approach
Args:
array(List[Union[int, List]]): The array of integers/lists
Returns:
int: The product sum of the array.
Logic :
1. Initialize a queue which stores the list, current
depth and it's multiplication factor
eg. queue -> [(arr, depth, multiplication_factor)]
2. Loop until queue is empty
1. Take front item from Queue and pop it
2. Iterate on front element
If current element is nested list
- then add that into queue with updated depth
and multiplication factor
Else if current element is not nested
- then update product sum variable by multiplying
current element with multiplicaton factor
Algorithm flow example ->
Input list - [5, 2, [-7, 1], 3, [6, [-13, 8], 4]]
Initialize queue - [([5, 2, [-7, 1], 3, [6, [-13, 8], 4]], 1, 1)]
Step 0
Queue - [([5, 2, [-7, 1], 3, [6, [-13, 8], 4]], 1, 1)]
Queue front item -
List - [5, 2, [-7, 1], 3, [6, [-13, 8], 4]]
depth - 1
multiplication factor - 1
product sum = 0 (previous) + 5 * 1 + 2 * 1 + 3 * 1 = 10
-------------------------------------------------------
Step 1
Queue - [([-7, 1], 2, 2), ([6, [-13, 8], 4], 2, 2)]
Queue front item -
List - [-7, 1]
depth - 2
multiplication factor - 2
product sum = 10 (previous) + (-7) * 2 + 1 * 2 = -2
-------------------------------------------------------
Step 2
Queue - [([6, [-13, 8], 4], 2, 2)]
Queue front item -
List - [6, [-13, 8], 4]
depth - 2
multiplication factor - 2
product sum = -2 (previous) + 6 * 2 + 4 * 2 = 18
-------------------------------------------------------
Step 3
Queue - [([-13, 8], 3, 6)]
Queue front item -
List - [-13, 8]
depth - 3
multiplication factor - 6
product sum = 18 (previous) + (-13) * 6 + 8 * 6 = -12
