184. Largest Number/179. Largest Number

• 本题难度: Medium
• Topic: Greedy

Description

1. Largest Number
   中文English
   Given a list of non negative integers, arrange them such that they form the largest number.

Example
Given [1, 20, 23, 4, 8], the largest formed number is 8423201.

Challenge
Do it in O(nlogn) time complexity.

Notice
The result may be very large, so you need to return a string instead of an integer.
