【LeetCode 402】 Remove K Digits

题目描述

Given a non-negative integer num represented as a string, remove k digits from the number so that the new number is the smallest possible.

Note:
The length of num is less than 10002 and will be ≥ k.
The given num does not contain any leading zero.

Example 1:

Input: num = "1432219", k = 3
Output: "1219"
Explanation: Remove the three digits 4, 3, and 2 to form the new number 1219 which is the smallest.

Example 2:

Input: num = "10200", k = 1
Output: "200"
Explanation: Remove the leading 1 and the number is 200. Note that the output must not contain leading zeroes.

Example 3:

Input: num = "10", k = 2
Output: "0"
Explanation: Remove all the digits from the number and it is left with nothing which is 0.

思路

用栈，当前字符如果比高位字符低，就把高位字符删掉。

代码

class Solution {
public:
    string removeKdigits(string num, int k) {
        int n = num.length();
        int keep = n - k;
        if (k >= n) return "0";
        
        string res= "";
        for (char c : num) {
            while(k && !res.empty() && res.back() > c) {
                res.pop_back();
                k--;
            }
            res.push_back(c);
        }
        
        res.resize(keep);
        while(!res.empty() && res[0] == '0') res.erase(res.begin());
        return (res.empty() ? "0" : res);
    }
};

整天不务正业，要废了。
