思路
先排序，再合并，若最后为空字符串，则返回'0'
其中排序思想为字符串的经典比较：
"""
Replacement for built-in funciton cmp that was removed in Python 3
Compare the two objects x and y and return an integer according to
the outcome. The return value is negative if x < y, zero if x == y
and strictly positive if x > y.
"""
class Solution(object):
def largestNumber(self, nums):
"""
:type nums: List[int]
:rtype: str
"""
nums = [str(num) for num in nums]
nums.sort(cmp=lambda x, y: cmp(y+x, x+y))
return ''.join(nums).lstrip('0') if ''.join(num).lstrip('0') else '0'或者更简单一点
class Solution(object):
def largestNumber(self, nums):
"""

"""
nums = [str(num) for num in nums]
nums.sort(cmp=lambda x, y: cmp(y+x, x+y))
return ''.join(nums).lstrip('0') or '0'
