Given a positive integer K, the task is to find Kth smallest palindromic number odd length.

Examples:

Input: K = 5
Output: 5
Explanation:
The palindromic numbers of odd lengths is {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, …, }. The 5th smallest palindromic numbers is 5.

Input: K = 10
Output: 101

Approach: The given problem can be solved based on the following observations:

  • The first Palindromic Numbers of length 1 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9.
  • The first Palindromic Numbers of length 3 is 101, which is the 10th smallest odd length palindrome number. Similarly, 11th, 12th, 13th, …, 99th smallest palindromic numbers are 111, 121, 131 …, 999 respectively.
  • Therefore, the Kth smallest odd length palindrome number can be formed by joining K and the reverse of K except the last digit.

From the above observations, the Kth smallest odd length palindromic number is given by appending the reverse of all the digits of K except the last one at the end of K.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++




// C++ program for the above approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to find the Kth smallest
// odd length palindrome
int oddLengthPalindrome(int k)
{
     
    // Store the original number K
    int palin = k;
 
    // Removing the last digit of K
    k = k / 10;
 
    // Generate the palindrome by
    // appending the reverse of K
    // except last digit to itself
    while (k > 0)
    {
         
        // Find the remainder
        int rev = k % 10;
 
        // Add the digit to palin
        palin = (palin * 10) + rev;
 
        // Divide K by 10
        k = k / 10;
    }
 
    // Return the resultant palindromic
    // number formed
    return palin;
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    int k = 504;
 
    cout << oddLengthPalindrome(k);
}

        palin = (palin * 10) + rev;
         
        // Divide K by 10
        k = k / 10;
    }
     
    // Return the resultant palindromic

    return palin;
}
