2578. Split With Minimum Sum

Given a positive integer num, split it into two non-negative integers num1 and num2 such that:

• The concatenation of num1 and num2 is a permutation of num.
  • In other words, the sum of the number of occurrences of each digit in num1 and num2 is equal to the number of occurrences of that digit in num.
• num1 and num2 can contain leading zeros.

Return the minimum possible sum of num1 and num2.

Notes:

• It is guaranteed that num does not contain any leading zeros.
• The order of occurrence of the digits in num1 and num2 may differ from the order of occurrence of num.

Example 1:

Input: num = 4325
Output: 59
Explanation: We can split 4325 so that num1 is 24 and num2 is 35, giving a sum of 59. We can prove that 59 is indeed the minimal possible sum.

Example 2:

Input: num = 687
Output: 75
Explanation: We can split 687 so that num1 is 68 and num2 is 7, which would give an optimal sum of 75.

Constraints:

• 10 <= num <= 109

Solutions (Python)

1. Solution

class Solution:
    def splitNum(self, num: int) -> int:
        num = sorted(str(num))
        num1 = int(''.join(num[::2]))
        num2 = int(''.join(num[1::2]))

        return num1 + num2
