"""

Given two non-negative integers num1 and num2 represented as strings,

return the product of num1 and num2.

Note:

The length of both num1 and num2 is < 110.

Both num1 and num2 contains only digits 0-9.

Both num1 and num2 does not contain any leading zero.

You must not use any built-in BigInteger library or convert

the inputs to integer directly.
