Question Definition
Given two non-negative integers num1 and num2 represented as strings, return the product of num1 and num2.
Note:
The length of both num1 and num2 is < 110.
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.
Java Solution
public String multiply(String num1, String num2) {
int m = num1.length(), n = num2.length();
int[] pos = new int[m + n];
for(int i = m - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
for(int j = n - 1; j >= 0; j--) {
int mul = (num1.charAt(i) - '0') * (num2.charAt(j) - '0');
int p1 = i + j, p2 = i + j + 1;
int sum = mul + pos[p2];
pos[p1] += sum / 10;
pos[p2] = (sum) % 10;
}
}
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
for(int p : pos) if(!(sb.length() == 0 && p == 0)) sb.append(p);
return sb.length() == 0 ? "0" : sb.toString();
}
