Solution: Create Maximum Number
Explore how to generate the maximum number of length k by combining digits from two arrays while preserving order. This lesson teaches you to identify optimal splits, select the strongest subarrays using a monotonic stack, and merge them with suffix comparison. You'll gain a clear method to solve this complex problem 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.
