Solution: Find the Largest Number
Explore how to find the largest number from a digit sum using two approaches: brute force and greedy algorithms. Understand the trade-offs in time complexity and learn to implement an efficient greedy method that constructs the largest number digit by digit for optimal solutions in coding interviews.

Solution #1: Brute force
Explanation
A simple brute force solution would be to consider all the digits (we can filter on numberOfDigits for slight optimization) and keep track of the maximum number by comparing them to the sumOfDigits.
Time complexity
This solution would have a time complexity of ...
