Find the thirteen adjacent digits in the 1000-digit number that have the greatest product. What is the value of this product?　　　　

看到这题目的那一刻，感觉有点棘手，但是仔细分析起来也还好，并不是很难。

题目给出的序列是一个很规矩的数字组合。我们可以考虑把它存放到等长的二维数组里面，当然也可以直接存放到一位数组。这里我存放到二维数组里面了。

首先，我先把序列进行简化来说明。假设我有以下序列，并存放到二维数组里面。

我从上到下依次给每个数组元素进行编号。

假设我们要找相连的T个数字的乘积最大值，我们可以设置标记从1号位置开始，直到36号位置结束（为什么是36号位置结束呢？这个应该不用解释吧）。当然这里不是每个位置都需要我们处理，稍后我会说我们怎么跳过部分不需要处理的位置。

但是这里还有一个问题就是：我们使用的是二维数组存放，我们需要把我们的位置编号计算成二维数组的行号和列号。因为是数组是规矩的，所以我们计算起来还是挺方便的。

假设我们的标记位置为i，数组的二维长度是n（这里是10），则

行号rowIndex=i/n，而列号columnIndex=i%n;

好了，下一步我们来说如何跳过某些位置。我们知道0乘以任何数都得0，所以在0的位置以及0前面T-1个位置都是可以不用计算的，可以直接跳过。

例如：当前位置为i，数字0的位置为j（j-i<T），则下一次开始计算位置应该为j+1。下面是用java写出来的简单代码。
