Biggest Number From Digits

FULLTIMEOA

There is an array, named digits, consisting of N digits. Choose at most three digits (not necessarily adjacent) and merge them into a new integer without changing the order of the digits. What is the biggest number that can be obtained this way?

Write a function: googleBiggestNumberOfDigits(int[] arr) that, given an array of N digits, returns the biggest number that can be built.

Assume that:

  • N is an integer within the range [3..50];
  • each element of array, named 'digits', is an integer within the range [0..9].
  • In your solution, focus on correctness. The performance of your solution will not be the focus of the assessment.

    1Example 1

    Input
    digits = [7, 2, 3, 3, 4, 9]
    Output
    749
    Explanation
    The biggest number that can be obtained by choosing at most three digits without changing the order is 749.

    2Example 2

    Input
    digits = [0, 0, 5, 7]
    Output
    57
    Explanation
    The biggest number that can be obtained by choosing at most three digits without changing the order is 57.

    Constraints

    Limits and guarantees your solution can rely on.

  • N is an integer within the range [3..50]
  • Each element of array, named digits, is an integer within the range [0...9]
  • public int googleBiggestNumberOfDigits(int[] arr) {
      // Write your code here :)
    }
    
    Input

    digits

    [7, 2, 3, 3, 4, 9]

    Output

    749
