Solution: Create Maximum Number
Explore how to form the lexicographically largest number of length k by merging digits from two arrays while preserving order. Understand the steps to split digits between arrays, select maximum subarrays with a stack, compare suffixes for tie-breaking, and merge using two pointers to achieve the optimal solution.
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.
