Karatsuba multiplication in swift - swift

Question

I was trying to implement Karatsuba multiplication in swift. I wrote the below code and it is working fine for some smaller numbers but as the number gets bigger this code fails to give the correct answer. I have debugged in every possible way I can but could not find the bug. Algorithm wise I think I did correctly write the code. And the code is working fine for smaller numbers. But the final answer is wrong for bigger numbers. If anyone out there can crack down the mistake I'm making, pls do help me
func findMultiplication(x: String, y: String) -> String {
if isZero(str: x) || isZero(str: y) {
return "0"
}
var x = removeLeadingZeros(number: x)
var y = removeLeadingZeros(number: y)
if x.count < 2 || y.count < 2 {
let result = Int(x)!*Int(y)!
return String(result)
}
var middleIndexX: String.Index
var middleIndexY: String.Index
var middleIndex: Int
if x.count >= y.count {
y = addLeftPaddingZeros(numberOfZeros: x.count-y.count, for: y)
middleIndex = x.count / 2
if x.count % 2 != 0 {
middleIndex += 1
}
} else {
x = addLeftPaddingZeros(numberOfZeros: y.count-x.count, for: x)
middleIndex = y.count / 2
if y.count % 2 != 0 {
middleIndex += 1
}
}
middleIndexX = x.index(x.startIndex, offsetBy: middleIndex)
middleIndexY = y.index(y.startIndex, offsetBy: middleIndex)
let a = String(x[x.startIndex..<middleIndexX])
let b = String(x[middleIndexX..<x.endIndex])
let c = String(y[y.startIndex..<middleIndexY])
let d = String(y[middleIndexY..<y.endIndex])
let ac = findMultiplication(x: a, y: c)
let bd = findMultiplication(x: b, y: d)
let aPb = Int(a)! + Int(b)!
let cPd = Int(c)! + Int(d)!
let gauss = findMultiplication(x: String(aPb), y: String(cPd))
let thirdItem = String(Int(gauss)! - Int(ac)! - Int(bd)!)
var returnSum = 0
returnSum += Int(addLeftPaddingZeros(numberOfZeros: x.count, for: ac, isLeft: false)) ?? 0
returnSum += Int(addLeftPaddingZeros(numberOfZeros: middleIndex, for: thirdItem, isLeft: false)) ?? 0
returnSum += Int(bd) ?? 0
return String(returnSum)
}
print(findMultiplication(x: "123400", y: "123711"))
func removeLeadingZeros(number: String) -> String {
var number = number
while number.first == "0" {
number.removeFirst()
}
if number == "" {
return "0"
}
return number
}
//The function name is given like this only. BUt his will help to add padding zero in left and right also
func addLeftPaddingZeros(numberOfZeros: Int, for str: String, isLeft: Bool = true) -> String {
var padding = ""
for _ in 0 ..< numberOfZeros {
padding += "0"
}
if isLeft {
return padding+str
} else {
return str + padding
}
}
func isZero(str: String) -> Bool {
for char in str {
if char != "0" {
return false
}
}
return true
}
