Solution: Largest Number

Understand how to solve the problem of forming the largest possible number from a list of non-negative integers by applying a greedy algorithm. This lesson teaches you to sort numbers based on a custom comparison of their concatenated string forms and handle edge cases efficiently.

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 ...
