leetcode 321: Create Maximum Number

The algorithm is quite difficult, you need to think step by step to come up with the idea. I learned the algorithm here.

class Solution {
public:
    vector<int> maxNumber(vector<int>& nums1, vector<int>& nums2, int k) {
        vector<int> res;
        int size1=nums1.size();
        int size2=nums2.size();
        for(int i=max(0,k-size2);i<=k&&i<=size1;i++)
        {
            vector<int> temp=merge(maxArray(nums1,i),maxArray(nums2,k-i),k);
            if(greater(temp,0,res,0))
                res=temp;
        }
        return res;
    }
    vector<int> maxArray(vector<int>& num,int k)
    {
        vector<int> res;
        for(int i=0;i<num.size();i++)
        {
            while(num.size()-i+res.size()>k&&!res.empty()&&num[i]>res.back())
                res.pop_back();
            if(res.size()<k)
                res.push_back(num[i]);
        }
        return res;
    }
    vector<int> merge(vector<int> nums1,vector<int> nums2,int k)
    {
        vector<int> res;
        int i=0,j=0;
        while(res.size()<k)
            res.push_back(greater(nums1,i,nums2,j)?nums1[i++]:nums2[j++]);
        return res;
    }
    bool greater(vector<int>& nums1,int i,vector<int>& nums2,int j)
    {
        while(i<nums1.size()&&j<nums2.size()&&nums1[i]==nums2[j])
        {
            i++;
            j++;
        }
        return j==nums2.size()||(i<nums1.size()&&nums1[i]>nums2[j]);
    }
};
