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.
