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:1、因为数字开头不允许是0,当第二位是0的情况下下,这时候我们删除了第一位数,那么至少可以使数字小两个量级,而其他位置最多也就是小一个数量级,所以这种情况毫无疑问删除第一个,后面打头的0也自动消解
2、否则,我们从头开始找,找到第一个下降的数,如 1234553,那么第一个是5,删除它得到的数字是最小的。
class Solution{
public:
string removeKdigits(string num, int k) {
while (k > 0)
{
int n = num.size();
int i = 0;
while (i+1<n && num[i]<=num[i+1]) i++;
num.erase(i, 1);
k--;
}
// trim leading zeros
int s = 0;
while (s<(int)num.size() && num[s]=='0') s++;
num.erase(0, s);
return num=="" ? "0" : num;
}
};
