43. Multiply Strings

Difficulty: Medium

Given two non-negative integers num1 and num2 represented as strings, return the product of num1 and num2, also represented as a string.

Example 1:

1
2
Input: num1 = "2", num2 = "3"
Output: "6"

Example 2:

1
2
Input: num1 = "123", num2 = "456"
Output: "56088"

Note:

  1. The length of both num1 and num2 is < 110.
  2. Both num1 and num2 contain only digits 0-9.
  3. Both num1 and num2 do not contain any leading zero, except the number 0 itself.
  4. You must not use any built-in BigInteger library or convert the inputs to integer directly.

public String multiply(String num1, String num2) {
if (num1 == null || num2 == null || num1.length() == 0 || num2.length() == 0

}

int m = num1.length(), n = num2.length();
int[] pos = new int[m + n];

for(int i = m - 1; i >= 0; i--) {

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();
