Program to find nearest number of n where all digits are odd in python

Python Server Side Programming Programming

Suppose we have a number n, we have to find the next closest value where all digits are odd. When there are two values tied for being closest to n, return the larger one.

So, if the input is like n = 243, then the output will be 199.

To solve this, we will follow these steps −

first_even := -1
s := n as string
l := size of s
for i in range 0 to l, do
- if s[i] is even, then
  - first_even := i
  - come out from the loop
if first_even is same as -1, then
- return n
big := 1 + numeric value of s[from index 0 to i]
if s[i] is same as "0", then
- if s[i - 1] is same as "1", then
  - small := numeric value of s[from index 0 to i] - 1
- otherwise,
  - small := numeric value of s[from index 0 to i] - 11
otherwise,
- small := numeric value of s[from index 0 to i] - 1
for i in range i + 1 to l, do
- big := big concatenate "1"
- small := small concatenate "9"
big := numeric value of big, small := numeric value of small
d2 := big - n, d1 := n - small
if d1 < d2, then
- return small
otherwise when d1 >= d2, then
- return big

Let us see the following implementation to get better understanding −

class Solution:
   def solve(self, n):
      first_even = -1
      s = str(n)
      l = len(s)
      for i in range(l):
         if int(s[i]) % 2 == 0:
            first_even = i
            break
      if first_even == -1:
         return n
      big = str(int(s[: i + 1]) + 1)
      if s[i] == "0":
         if s[i - 1] == "1":
            small = str(int(s[: i + 1]) - 1)
         else:
            small = str(int(s[i : i + 1]) - 11)
      else:
         small = str(int(s[: i + 1]) - 1)

      for i in range(i + 1, l):
         big += "1"
         small += "9"

      big, small = int(big), int(small)
      d2 = big - n
      d1 = n - small
      if d1 < d2:
         return small
      elif d1 >= d2:
         return big
     
ob = Solution()
n = 243
print(ob.solve(n))
