参考了别人的思路：

  1. m位的数字乘以n位的数字的结果最大为m+n位：
    • 99999 < 1000100 = 100000，最多为3+2 = 5位数。
  2. 先将字符串逆序便于从最低位开始计算。
class Solution(object):
    def multiply(self, num1, num2):
        """
        :type num1: str
        :type num2: str
        :rtype: str
        """
        lookup = {"0":0,"1":1,"2":2,"3":3,"4":4,"5":5,"6":6,"7":7,"8":8,"9":9} # 节省查找时间，避免无休止使用ord函数来得到数字
        if num1 == '0' or num2 == '0':
            return '0'
        num1, num2 = num1[::-1], num2[::-1]

        tmp_res = [0 for i in range(len(num1)+len(num2))]
        for i in range(len(num1)):
            for j in range(len(num2)):
                tmp_res[i+j] += lookup[num1[i]] * lookup[num2[j]]

        res = [0 for i in range(len(num1)+len(num2))]
        for i in range(len(num1)+len(num2)):
            res[i] = tmp_res[i] % 10
            if i < len(num1)+len(num2)-1:
                tmp_res[i+1] += tmp_res[i]/10 
        return ''.join(str(i) for i in res[::-1]).lstrip('0')  # 去掉最终结果头部可能存在的‘0’

觉得这样写才是最容易理解的，看一个具体的🌰:

input: num1, num2 = '91', '91'
tmp_res = [1,18,81,0]
res = [1,8,2,8]

最终返回 "8281"

要注意最终返回头部可能会有‘0’，所以我们用lstrip去除一下
