Solution: Largest Palindromic Number

Explore how to apply a greedy technique to construct the largest palindromic number from a set of digits. Learn to count digit frequencies, choose pairs for the palindrome's halves, and select a middle digit to maximize the number size. Understand the step-by-step process and algorithmic complexity to solve this problem effectively.

We'll cover the following...

Statement

You are given a string num consisting of digits from 00 to 99. Your task is to return the largest possible palindromic number as a string by using some or all of the digits in num. The resulting palindromic number must not have leading zeros.

Note: You may reorder the digits freely, and you must use at least one digit from the num string.

Constraints:

  • 1≤1\leq num.length ...
