Create Maximum Number

You are given two integer arrays nums1 and nums2 of lengths m and n respectively. nums1 and nums2 represent the digits of two numbers. You are also given an integer k.

Create the maximum number of length k <= m + n from digits of the two numbers. The relative order of the digits from the same array must be preserved.

Return an array of the k digits representing the answer.

Example 1
Inputnums1 = [3,4,6,5], nums2 = [9,1,2,5,8,3], k = 5
Output[9,8,6,5,3]
The maximum number of length 5 that preserves relative order within each original array is [9, 8, 6, 5, 3].
Example 2
Inputnums1 = [6,7], nums2 = [6,0,4], k = 5
Output[6,7,6,0,4]
Using all digits from both arrays in order gives the maximum number [6, 7, 6, 0, 4].

Constraints

  • m == nums1.length
  • n == nums2.length
  • 1 <= m, n <= 500
  • 0 <= nums1[i], nums2[i] <= 9
  • 1 <= k <= m + n
  • nums1 and nums2 do not have leading zeros.
