Problem

  1. Remove K Digits Medium

Given string num representing a non-negative integer num, and an integer k, return the smallest possible integer after removing k digits from num.

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.

Constraints:

1 <= k <= num.length <= 10^5 num consists of only digits. num does not have any leading zeros except for the zero itself.==

Solution
