Find the Kth Largest Integer in the Array
Try to solve the Find the Kth Largest Integer in the Array problem.
We'll cover the following
Statement
Given an array of strings, nums
, where each string represents an integer without leading zeros, and an integer k
, your task is to find and return the string representing the k
Note: Treat duplicate integers as distinct entities. For instance, if
nums
, the first largest integer is , the second largest is also , and the third largest is .
Constraints:
k
nums.length
nums[i].length
nums[i]
consists of only digits.nums[i]
will not have any leading zeros.
