Solution: Largest Number

Explore how to solve the problem of forming the largest number from a list of non-negative integers by applying greedy techniques. Understand the custom comparison strategy that orders numbers as strings to maximize the concatenated result, and learn the implementation details along with time and space complexity analysis. This lesson equips you with a method to handle optimization problems using greedy algorithms and string sorting.

Statement

Given a list of non-negative integers, nums, rearrange them so that they form the largest possible number. As the result may be very large, return it as a string.

Constraints:

  • 11 \leq nums.length 100\leq 100

  • 00 \leq nums[i] 103\leq 10^3 ...
