Solution: Largest Number

Explore how to transform and sort numbers as strings to create the largest possible concatenated number. Understand a greedy algorithm that compares combined strings rather than numerical values, ensuring optimal ordering. This lesson guides you through custom sorting, special case handling, and analyzing time and space complexity for the solution.

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 ...
