Solution: Remove K Digits

Explore the greedy technique to solve the problem of removing exactly k digits from a numeric string to yield the smallest possible result. This lesson guides you through using a monotonic-increasing stack strategy, demonstrating how to efficiently identify and remove digits while maintaining minimal time and space complexity. Understand step-by-step how to implement this approach and handle edge cases such as leading zeros.

Statement

Given a string, num, that represents a non-negative integer and an integer k, remove exactly k digits from num so that the remaining digits form the smallest possible number.
