=========================================== PROGRAMMING QUEST #4
PRODUCE THE LARGEST INTERGER FROM A SET OF INTEGERS BY ORDERING AND CONCATENATION
Here is a set and the largest number obtained to check your code against
[2, 34, 7, 98, 9, 77, 41, 5] The 8 integers arrange to : 998777541342
VARIOUS TASKS
Code functions to :
(A) Return a random positive integer having a random count of digits between 1 and 6,
(B) Return a random set of between 5 and 10 integers using the (A) generated integers.
(C) Concatenate the integers in the set (B) in such an order that the largest integer is returned.
(D) Show (print) the integers in the set (B) followed by the largest number (C) produced.
Produce 10 Different Results of (D)
