Multiply Strings
Detailed guide and Python implementation for the 'Multiply Strings' problem.
Problem Statement
Given two non-negative integers num1 and num2 represented as strings, return the product of num1 and num2, also represented as a string.
Note: You must not use any built-in BigInteger library or convert the inputs to integer directly.
Implement a function multiply(num1: str, num2: str) -> str.
- •1 <= num1.length, num2.length <= 200
- •num1 and num2 consist of digits only
- •Both num1 and num2 do not contain any leading zero, except the number 0 itself
Examples
"2", "3"
"6"
2 * 3 = 6.
"123", "456"
"56088"
123 * 456 = 56088.
