Given a non-negative number num. The problem is to apply at most one swap operation on the number num so that the resultant is the largest possible number. The number could be very large so a string type can be used to store the number.
Examples:
Input : n = 8725634 Output : 8765234 Swapped the digits 2 and 6. Input : n = 54321 Output : 54321 No swapping of digits required.
Create an array rightMax[]. rightMax[i] contains the index of the greatest digit which is on the right side of num[i] and also greater than num[i]. If no such digit exists then rightMax[i] = -1. Now, traverse the rightMax[] array from i = 0 to n-1(where n is the total number of digits in num), and find the first element having rightMax[i] != -1. Perform the swap(num[i], num[rightMax[i]]) operation and break.
// C++ implementation to form the largest number // by applying atmost one swap operation #include <bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std;
// function to form the largest number by // applying atmost one swap operation string largestNumber(string num) { int n = num.size();
int rightMax[n], right;
// for the rightmost digit, there
// will be no greater right digit
rightMax[n - 1] = -1;
// index of the greatest right digit till the
// current index from the right direction
right = n - 1;
// traverse the array from second right element
// up to the left element
for ( int i = n - 2; i >= 0; i--) {
// if 'num[i]' is less than the greatest digit
// encountered so far
if (num[i] < num[right])
rightMax[i] = right;
// else
else {
// there is no greater right digit
// for 'num[i]'
rightMax[i] = -1;
// update 'right' index
right = i;
}
}
// traverse the 'rightMax[]' array from left to right
for ( int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
// if for the current digit, greater right digit exists
// then swap it with its greater right digit and break
if (rightMax[i] != -1) {
// performing the required swap operation
swap(num[i], num[rightMax[i]]);
break ;
}
}
// required largest number
return num;
} // Driver program to test above int main()

cout << "Largest number:"
