    Problem

    You are given a string num, which represents a large integer. You are also given a 0-indexed integer array change of length 10 that maps each digit 0-9 to another digit. More formally, digit d maps to digit change[d].

    You may choose to mutate a single substring of num. To mutate a substring, replace each digit num[i] with the digit it maps to in change (i.e. replace num[i] with change[num[i]]).

    Return **a string representing the *largest* possible integer after mutating (or choosing not to) a single substring of **num.

    A substring is a contiguous sequence of characters within the string.

      Example 1:

    Input: num = "132", change = [9,8,5,0,3,6,4,2,6,8]
    Output: "832"
    Explanation: Replace the substring "1":
    - 1 maps to change[1] = 8.
    Thus, "132" becomes "832".
    "832" is the largest number that can be created, so return it.
    

    Example 2:

    Input: num = "021", change = [9,4,3,5,7,2,1,9,0,6]
    Output: "934"
    Explanation: Replace the substring "021":
    - 0 maps to change[0] = 9.
    - 2 maps to change[2] = 3.
    - 1 maps to change[1] = 4.
    Thus, "021" becomes "934".
    "934" is the largest number that can be created, so return it.
    

    Example 3:

    Input: num = "5", change = [1,4,7,5,3,2,5,6,9,4]
    Output: "5"
    Explanation: "5" is already the largest number that can be created, so return it.

    Solution (Java)

    class Solution {
        public String maximumNumber(String num, int[] change) {
            int n = num.length();
            char[] nums = num.toCharArray();
            char[] arr = new char[n];
            for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
                int val = nums[i] - '0';
                arr[i] = (char) (change[val] + '0');
            }
            boolean flag = false;
            for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
                if (nums[i] < arr[i]) {
                    nums[i] = arr[i];
                    flag = true;
                } else if (flag && nums[i] > arr[i]) {
                    break;
                }
            }
            return String.valueOf(nums);
        }
    }

    nope.
