Largest Number in Python
Suppose there is a list of non-negative integers, we have to arrange them such that they form the largest number. So if the array is [10, 2], then the largest number will be 210.
To solve this, we will follow these steps −
- Arrange the numbers where the most significant digits are greater than place them at first, like this arrangement the numbers. After that just join the numbers from the array.
Example
Let us see the following implementation to get a better understanding −
from functools import cmp_to_key
class Solution(object):
def largestNumber(self, nums):
for i in range(len(nums)):
nums[i] = str(nums[i])
nums.sort(key=cmp_to_key(lambda x,y:self.compare(x,y)))
return "".join(nums).lstrip("0") or "0"
def compare(self,x,y):
if x+y<y+x:
return 1
elif x+y == y+x:
return 0
else:
return -1
ob1 = Solution()
print(ob1.largestNumber([3,30,5,6,8]))Input
[3,30,5,6,8]
Output
"865330"
