maximum-value-of-a-string-in-an-array_2496.py

# he value of an alphanumeric string can be defined as:

# The numeric representation of the string in base 10, if it comprises of digits only.
# The length of the string, otherwise.
# Given an array strs of alphanumeric strings, return the maximum value of any string in strs.

# Example 1:

# Input: strs = ["alic3","bob","3","4","00000"]
# Output: 5
# Explanation:
# - "alic3" consists of both letters and digits, so its value is its length, i.e. 5.
# - "bob" consists only of letters, so its value is also its length, i.e. 3.
# - "3" consists only of digits, so its value is its numeric equivalent, i.e. 3.
# - "4" also consists only of digits, so its value is 4.
# - "00000" consists only of digits, so its value is 0.
# Hence, the maximum value is 5, of "alic3".
# Example 2:

# Input: strs = ["1","01","001","0001"]
# Output: 1
# Explanation:
# Each string in the array has value 1. Hence, we return 1.
