Solution: Create Maximum Number
Explore how to create the largest possible number of length k by combining digits from two arrays while preserving order. Understand key techniques like selecting maximum subarrays with a monotonic stack, merging sequences with suffix comparisons, and trying all splits to find the optimal solution efficiently.
We'll cover the following...
Statement
You are given two integer arrays, nums1 and nums2, of lengths m and n, respectively. Each array represents the digits of a number.
You are also given an integer k. Create the largest possible number of length k (where k m n) using digits from both arrays. You may interleave digits from the two arrays, but the relative order of digits within the same array must be preserved.
Return an array of k digits representing the maximum number.
