我在下面写的程序似乎正在完成它的工作,但它产生了错误的答案。如评论中所述,我需要将1000位数字符串的5个连续数字相乘,然后在整个字符串中找到最大的产品。

该程序显示它确实将五个连续数字相乘并在必要时成功提升了商店价值,唉我仍然得到31752的错误答案,应该是40824(根据项目Euler Solutions google-group:{{ 3}})。我做错了什么?我该怎么做才能修复这个程序?未来的任何提示,以避免我没有看到的可能是愚蠢的错误?

从粗略的一瞥,我相信你的问题在于你在i
循环声明之外的多个位置修改for
。这将导致您扫描数字以跳过可能正确的序列。\
如果你推理出你的代码,它会从字符串中的第0位开始。然后你有一个条件,你增加i
4次,所以然后下一次循环,你开始尝试从字符串中的位置4开始寻找一个序列,而不是从位置1开始。
