input1

[1,2,3]

output1

[1 * 2 * 3 = 6]

input2

[-1, -2, -3]

output2

[-1*-2*-3 = -6]

Note: The Output should be displayed as [1 * 2 * 3 = 6]

Answer 1

The example below is the shortest way to achieve your goal.

Use Array.prototype.reduce to multiply integers (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/reduce).

Use Array.prototype.join to concatenate all elemenets in an array using some delimeter (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/join).

function giveMeAProductOfArrayItems(input) {
	if (input.length !== 0) {
    var multiply = input.reduce(function(prevValue, currValue) {
  	  return prevValue * currValue;
  	}, 1);
  	
  	return "[" + input.join(" * ") + " = " + multiply + "]";
  } else {
    return "[]";
  }
}

console.log(giveMeAProductOfArrayItems([]));
console.log(giveMeAProductOfArrayItems([1,2,3]));
console.log(giveMeAProductOfArrayItems([-1,-2,-3]));
