179. Largest Number
MediumView on LeetCode
179.cs
C#
public class Solution
{
public string LargestNumber(int[] nums)
{
// Create a list of strings to store the numbers as strings
List<string> stringNumbers = new List<string>();
// Convert each integer in the array to a string and add it to the list
foreach (int num in nums)
stringNumbers.Add(num.ToString());
// Sort the list using a custom comparator
// The custom comparator defines the order based on the concatenation result
// This ensures that the largest number is formed after sorting
stringNumbers.Sort((str1, str2) => (str2 + str1).CompareTo(str1 + str2));
// After sorting, if the largest number is "0", it means all numbers were zeros
// In that case, return "0"
if (stringNumbers[0] == "0")
return "0";
// Join all the strings in the list to get the final largest number representation
return string.Join("", stringNumbers);
