Evaluate the expression ( N¹ * (N – 1)² * … * 1^N) % (10⁹ + 7)

Last Updated : 23 Apr, 2021

Given an integer N, the task is to find the value of the expression ( N¹ * (N – 1)² * … * 1^N) % (10⁹ + 7).

Input: N = 1
Output: 1
Explanation:
1¹ = 1

Input: N = 4
Output: 288
Explanation:
4¹ * (4 – 1)² * (4 – 2)³ * (4-3)⁴
= 4 * 9 * 8 * 1
= 288

Naive Approach: The simplest approach to solve this problem is to iterate over the range [1, N]. For every i^th iteration, calculate the value of (N – i + 1)ⁱ. Finally, print the product of all the calculated values from each iteration.
Time Complexity: O(N² * log₂(N))
Auxiliary Space: O(1)

Efficient Approach: The above approach can be optimized based on the following observations:

F(N) = N¹ * (N – 1)² * … * 1^N
= N * (N – 1) * (N – 1) * (N – 2) * (N – 2) * (N – 2)* … 1 * 1 * 1
= N * (N – 1) * (N – 2)*… * 1 * (N -1) * (N – 2) * …* 1 * …
= N! * (N – 1)! * (N – 2)! * … * 1!

Follow the steps below to solve the problem:

Precompute the value of the factorial from 1 to N using factorial(N) = N * factorial(N – 1).
Iterate over the range [1, N] and find the product of all the factorials over the range [1, N] using the above observations
Finally, print the value of the expression.
