Solution: Largest Odd Number in String

Understand how to implement a greedy technique to identify the largest odd integer within a string representation of a number. Learn to scan from the end, find the rightmost odd digit, and return the substring up to that point, optimizing for time and space complexity.

Statement

You are given a string, num, which represents a large integer. Your task is to find the largest odd-valued integer that can be formed as a non-empty substring of num. Return this odd integer as a string. If no odd integer exists, return an empty string ("").

Note: A substring is a continuous sequence of characters within a string.

Constraints:

  • ...
