43. Multiply Strings

description:

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

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

Example:

Example 1:

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

Example 2:

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

answer:

class Solution {
public:
    string multiply(string num1, string num2) {
        string res = "";
        int m = num1.size(), n = num2.size();
        vector<int> vals(m + n); // m 位数和 n 位数相乘结果会有 m+n 位,ps. 2*20 = 040 
        for (int i = m - 1; i >= 0; --i) { // 列式乘法
            for (int j = n - 1; j >= 0; --j) {
                int mul = (num1[i] - '0') * (num2[j] - '0');
                int p1 = i + j, p2 = i + j + 1, sum = mul + vals[p2];
                vals[p1] += sum / 10;
                 // 这里一定要 += !!,因为这个列式乘法和我们的列式乘法还不太一样,
                //它不是一下子第一行乘以第二行某个数,而是第一行的某个 数乘以第二行的某个数
                // 这就是说会有折回去的时候,所以高位也要加上原来的数
                vals[p2] = sum % 10;
            }
        }
        for (int val : vals) {
            if (!res.empty() || val != 0) res.push_back(val + '0');
             // 类似于上边的 ps. 情况,要将打头的没用的 0 去掉,刚开始是 res等于空,而且 value = 0,所以一直不会进入这个 if,直到 value != 0 之后才开始导入到 result 中。
        }
        return res.empty() ? "0" : res;
    }
};

relative point get√:

vals(m + n); 创建一个vector,大小为 m + n, 初始化为 0.
