#P1106. Minimum Number by Removing Digits
Minimum Number by Removing Digits
Minimum Number by Removing Digits
You are given a high-precision positive integer \( n \) (with at most 250 digits) and an integer \( k \). Your task is to remove exactly \( k \) digits from \( n \) (without changing the order of the remaining digits) so that the new number formed by the remaining digits is as small as possible.
Note: If all digits are removed, the result is considered to be 0.
Example:
Input: n = "1432219", k = 3 Output: "1219" Explanation: Remove the digits '4', '3', and '2' to form the minimum number "1219".
Solve this problem using an appropriate algorithm that guarantees the optimal solution while handling the high-precision input.
inputFormat
The input consists of two lines:
- The first line contains the high-precision positive integer \( n \) as a string (its length does not exceed 250 digits).
- The second line contains the integer \( k \) indicating how many digits to remove.
outputFormat
Output the smallest possible number (as a string) that can be obtained after removing exactly \( k \) digits from \( n \). If the resulting number has leading zeros, they should be removed. If all digits are removed, output "0".
