Solution: Largest Number

Understand how to solve the Largest Number problem by transforming integers to strings and using a custom sorting rule. This lesson teaches a greedy technique that compares combined string pairs to order numbers for the maximum concatenated result, handling edge cases efficiently. By the end, you'll gain practical skills to implement this pattern and optimize solutions involving string-based 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 ...
