Add Binary Java

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

For example,
a = "11"
b = "1"
Return "100".

 Idea: define a StringBuilder and calculate for carry & reminder
    Remember this time we need to read number from back instead of front
    carry => num/2;
    reminder => num%2
    Be careful, reverse the StringBuilder as output String

public class Solution {
    public String addBinary(String a, String b) {
        if(a.length()==0) return b;
       if(b.length()==0) return a;
       StringBuilder strBuilder=new StringBuilder();
        int al=a.length()-1;
       int bl=b.length()-1;
        int carry=0;
        while(al>=0 && bl>=0){
            //convert both Character to Integer
            int numA=a.charAt(al)-'0';
            int numB=b.charAt(bl)-'0';
            int num=numA+numB+carry;
            carry=num/2;
            int reminder=num%2;
            strBuilder.append(reminder);
            al--;
            bl--;
        }
        //check for case of a.length()>b.length();
        while(al>=0){
            int numA=a.charAt(al)-'0';
            int num=numA+carry;
            carry=num/2;
            int reminder=num%2;
            strBuilder.append(reminder);
            al--;
          }
        //check for case of a.length()>b.length();
        while(bl>=0){
            int numB=b.charAt(bl)-'0';
            int num=numB+carry;
            carry=num/2;
            int reminder=num%2;
            strBuilder.append(reminder);
            bl--;
        }
        //do not forget for last carry
        if(carry>0){
            strBuilder.append(carry);
        }
        //we need to reverse the String since we are read from left to right
        return strBuilder.reverse().toString();
    }
}
