Given a positive integer N where 1 \leq N \leq 10^{9}    . The task is to find the smallest prime palindrome greater than or equal to N.
Examples: 
 

Input: 8
Output: 11

Input: 7000000000
Output: 10000500001


Approach: 
 


The Naive approach is to loop from N + 1 until we found the next smallest prime palindrome greater than or equal to N.
Efficient Approach: 
Let’s say P = R is a the next smallest prime-palindrome greater than or equal to N
Now since R is a palindrome, the first half of the digits of R can be used to determine R up to two possibilities. Let k be the first half of the digits in R. For eg. if k = 123, then R = 12321 or R = 123321.
Thus, we iterate through each k upto 105 and create the associated palindrome R, and check whether R is a prime or not. 
Also, we will handle the odd and even palindromes separately, and break them when we found our result.
Below is the implementation of above approach: 
 

C++

// C++ implementation of above approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
#define ll long long int
 
// Function to check whether
// a number is prime
bool isPrime(ll n)
{
    if (n < 2) return false;
     
    for (ll i = 2; i <= sqrt(n); i++)
    {
        if (n % i == 0) return false;
    }
    return true;
}
 
// function to generate next
// smallest prime palindrome
ll nextPrimePalindrome(ll N)
{
for (ll k = 1; k < 1000000; k++)
{
     
    // Check for odd-length palindromes
    string s = to_string(k);
    string z(s.begin(), s.end());
    reverse(z.begin(), z.end());
 
    // eg. s = '1234' to x = int('1234321')
    ll x = stoll(s + z.substr(1));
 
    if (x >= N and isPrime(x)) return x;
 
    // Check for even-length palindromes
    s = to_string(k);
    z = string(s.begin(), s.end());
    reverse(z.begin(), z.end());
 
    // eg. s = '1234' to x = int('12344321')
    x = stoll(s + z);
 
    if (x >= N and isPrime(x)) return x;
}
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    ll N = 7000000000;
     
    // Function call to print answer
    cout << nextPrimePalindrome(N) << endl;
     
    return 0;
}

    {
        if (n % i == 0) return false;
    }
    return true;
}
 
// reverse the String
static String reverse(String s)
{
    String s1 = "";
    for(int i = s.length() - 1; i >= 0; i--)
        s1 += s.charAt(i);
     
    return s1;
}
 
// function to generate next

{
    for (long k = 1; k < 1000000l; k++)
    {
         
        // Check for odd-length palindromes
        String s = ""+k;
        String z;
        z = reverse(s);
     
        // eg. s = '1234' to x = int('1234321')
        long x = Long.parseLong(s + z.substring(1, z.length()));

            return x;
     
        // Check for even-length palindromes
        s = ""+(k);
        z = s;
        z = reverse(z);
     
        // eg. s = '1234' to x = int('12344321')

Output: 
10000500001

 

Time Complexity: O(N*sqrt(N)) where N is upper limit and the sqrt(N) term comes from checking if a candidate is prime.

Auxiliary Space: O(1)
