Find the Next Smaller Palindrome
You are provided with a number N
, expressed as a string S
, which is a palindrome. The task is to determine the largest number strictly less than N
that is also a palindrome.
Example
Input:
T = 1
S = "12321"
Output:
"12221"
Input
The first line contains an integer T
, representing the number of test cases.
For each test case, there is a single line containing the string S
, which is the number for which the next smaller palindrome is to be determined.
Output
For each test case, output a single line containing the next smaller palindrome of S
.
Constraints
1 <= T <= 100
1 <= |S| <= 10^4
- The input string
S
represents a number greater than 0.
Note
- A palindrome reads the same backward as forward; e.g., madam, racecar, 1234321.
- Single-digit numbers are considered palindromes.
- The resulting palindrome should not have leading zeros, except when the result is 0.
