Solution: Largest Number After Digit Swaps by Parity

Explore how to rearrange digits of a number to create the largest possible value by swapping only digits that share the same parity. Understand heap data structures usage to efficiently select the largest odd and even digits. This lesson covers the process step-by-step and analyzes the time and space complexity of the solution.

Statement

You are given a positive integer num. You can swap any two digits of num as long as they share the same parity (both are odd or both are even).

Your task is to return the largest possible value of num after performing any number of such swaps.

Constraints:

  • 11 \leq num 109\leq 10^9

Solution

The algorithm rearranges the digits of a given integer ...
