Given an integer N, the task is to form a minimum possible positive number (>0) by inverting some digits of N.

Inverting for a digit T is defined as subtracting it from 9 that is 9 – T.

Note: The final number should not start from zero.

Examples:

Input:N = 4545
Output: 4444
Explanation:
The minimum possible number is 4444 by subtracting the two 5 ( 9 – 5 = 4)

Input: N = 9000
Output: 9000
Explanation:
The minimum possible number is 9000 cause the number has to be > 0 and hence 9 cannot be subtracted from itself.

 

Approach: The idea is to iterate over all the digits in the given number and check if 9 – current_digit is less than the current_digit then replace that digit with 9 – current_digit else don’t change the digit. If the first digit of the number is 9 then don’t change the digit and we can’t have a trailing zero in the new number formed.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++




// C++ program for the above approach
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to invert the digits of
// integer N to form minimum
// possible number
void number(int num)
{
    // Initialize the array
    int a[20], r, i = 0, j;
 
    // Iterate till the number N exists
    while (num > 0) {
 
        // Last digit of the number N
        r = num % 10;
 
        // Checking if the digit is
        // smaller than 9-digit
        if (9 - r > r)
 
            // Store the smaller
            // digit in the array
            a[i] = r;
 
        else
            a[i] = 9 - r;
 
        i++;
 
        // Reduce the number each time
        num = num / 10;
    }
 
    // Check if the digit starts
    // with 0 or not
    if (a[i - 1] == 0) {
        cout << 9;
        i--;
    }
 
    // Print the answer
    for (j = i - 1; j >= 0; j--)
        cout << a[j];
}

{
    // Given Number

    // Function Call
    number(num);
 
    return 0;
}

Time Complexity: O(log10N)
Auxiliary Space: O(log10N)

Alternate approach -: To get the minimum number we need to convert all digits at their minimum, so we can get the minimum number after subtracting is 4,3,2,1. 

Reason-: We can only get 4 or 3 or 2 or 1 or 0 minimals after subtracting any digit from 9 so If we have 5 or 6 
or 7 or 8 at the first digit then after subtracting from 9 we can get 4 or 3 or 2 or 1, and if these are not
present then that means that we already have minimum 4 or 3 or 2 or 1 at the first digit.

So we will check for every s[i] if 4<s[i]<9 then we will subtract s[i] from 9 and hence will get the desired result.

#include <bits/stdc++.h>

string solve(string s)

    // If 4 < s[0] < 9 then subtract to

    if (s[0] != '9' && s[0] > '4') {
        s[0] = '0' + ('9' - s[0]);
    }
 
    // Check for every s[i] from
    // 1 to s.length that 4 < s[i]
    // < 9
    for (int i = 1; i < s.size(); i++) {

            s[i] = '0' + ('9' - s[i]);
