415. Add Strings

Similar to binary add.

Given two non-negative numbers num1 and num2 represented as string, return the sum of num1 and num2.

Note:

The length of both num1 and num2 is < 5100.
Both num1 and num2 contains only digits 0-9.
Both num1 and num2 does not contain any leading zero.
You must not use any built-in BigInteger library or convert the inputs to integer directly.

class Solution {
    public String addStrings(String num1, String num2) {
        //similar to binary add (67)

        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

        int carry = 0;
        int l1 = num1.length() - 1;
        int l2 = num2.length() - 1;

        while(l1 >= 0 || l2 >= 0){

            int n1 = l1 >= 0 ? num1.charAt(l1) - '0' : 0;
            int n2 = l2 >= 0 ? num2.charAt(l2) - '0' : 0;

            int sum = n1 + n2 + carry;

            carry = sum > 9 ? 1 : 0;
            sb.insert(0, sum % 10);
            l1--;
            l2--;

        }

        if(carry == 1) sb.insert(0,1);

        return sb.toString();

    }
