Problem: Add Strings

Medium
30 min
Explore how to add two non-negative integers given as strings by simulating manual addition digit by digit. Understand constraints that prohibit direct integer conversion and learn to implement efficient string-based addition to handle large numbers.

Statement

Given two non-negative integers, num1 and num2, represented as strings, return the sum of num1 and num2 as a string.

You must not use any built-in library for handling large integers (such as BigInteger) or directly convert the inputs to integers.

Constraints:

  • 11 \leq num1.length, num2.length 103\leq 10^3

  • num1 and num2 consist of only digits.

  • num1 and num2 don’t have any leading zeros except for the zero itself.
