Solution: Create Maximum Number
Explore how to create the maximum possible number of length k by interleaving digits from two arrays while preserving order. Understand splitting strategies, selecting maximum subarrays with stacks, suffix comparisons for merging, and the overall approach to optimize results in this lesson on two pointer techniques.
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.
