🚀 Day 15/30 – Java Coding Challenge Problem Statement: Given an array of non-negative integers, arrange them such that they form the largest possible number. The result should be returned as a string since the output can be very large. 📌 Key challenge: Standard numeric sorting doesn’t work here—ordering depends on string combinations, not values. Approach: Convert each integer into a string for flexible comparison. Sort the array using a custom comparator: Compare two strings a and b by checking which combination is larger: (b + a) vs (a + b) If the highest value starts with '0', return "0" (handles cases like [0,0]). Append all sorted strings to form the final largest number. ⏱️ Time Complexity: O(n log n) 📦 Space Complexity: O(n) ✨ This problem helped me understand the power of custom sorting and string-based comparisons in Java. #Day14 #30DaysOfCode #Java #DSA #LeetCode #ProblemSolving #Consistency #CodingJourney
