19.2.12 [LeetCode 67] Add Binary

Posted 2021-02-09 TobicYAL

Given two binary strings, return their sum (also a binary string).

The input strings are both non-empty and contains only characters 1 or 0.

Example 1:

Input: a = "11", b = "1"
Output: "100"

Example 2:

Input: a = "1010", b = "1011"
Output: "10101"

 5         string ans = "";
 6         while (i >= 0 && j >= 0) {
 7             int now = a[i] + b[j] - 2 * ‘0‘ + last;

 9             last = now / 2;
10             i--, j--;
11         }
12         while (i >= 0) {
13             int now = a[i] - ‘0‘ + last;

15             last = now / 2;

17         }
18         while (j >= 0) {
