"The idea of prefix sum can be applied here to find a product prefix array and a product suffix array. Create a prefix product array by calculating the cumulative product of all elements which appear before that particular element in the array. Similarly, create a suffix array for all elements which appear later than particular element in the array. Now, replace each element with the product of prefix and suffix products of adjacent elements. This will give you the answer."
