LeetCode-Add Binary

Given two binary strings, return their sum (also a binary string).

For example,
a = "11"
b = "1"

Return "100".

自己的解答：

public String addBinary(String a, String b) {
    	if (a == null || b == null) 
    		return null;
    	int base = 2;
    	int max = a.length() > b.length() ? a.length() : b.length();
        char[] result = new char[max+1];
        int sum, carry = 0, i, j, k;
        for (i = a.length()-1, j = b.length()-1, k = result.length-1; i >= 0 && j >= 0; i--,j--) {
        	sum = a.charAt(i) + b.charAt(j) + carry- 2*'0';
        	carry = sum/base;
        	result[k--] = (char) (sum%base + '0');
        }
        while (i >= 0) {
        	sum = a.charAt(i) + carry- '0';
        	carry = sum/base;
        	result[k--] = (char) (sum%base + '0');
        	i--;
        }
        while (j >= 0) {
        	sum = b.charAt(j) + carry- '0';
        	carry = sum/base;
        	result[k--] = (char) (sum%base + '0');
        	j--;
        }
        if (carry == 1) {
        	result[0] = '1';
        	return String.copyValueOf(result, 0, result.length);
        }
        return String.copyValueOf(result, 1, result.length-1);
    }

最通用的方法，或者说，以上代码改成八进制，十进制，十六进制都是可以用的，只需要修改base的值即可。也比较适合于大数相加。贴一下别人的代码，大同小异：

public String addBinary(String a, String b) {
        if(a == null || a.isEmpty()) {
            return b;
        }
        if(b == null || b.isEmpty()) {
            return a;
        }
        char[] aArray = a.toCharArray();
        char[] bArray = b.toCharArray();
        StringBuilder stb = new StringBuilder();

        int i = aArray.length - 1;
        int j = bArray.length - 1;
        int aByte;
        int bByte;
        int carry = 0;
        int result;

        while(i > -1 || j > -1 || carry == 1) {
            aByte = (i > -1) ? Character.getNumericValue(aArray[i--]) : 0;
            bByte = (j > -1) ? Character.getNumericValue(bArray[j--]) : 0;
            result = aByte ^ bByte ^ carry;
            carry = ((aByte + bByte + carry) >= 2) ? 1 : 0;
            stb.append(result);
        }
        return stb.reverse().toString();
    }
