Given an integer N, the task is to find the closest palindromic number which is smaller than N.

Examples:

Input: N = 4000
Output: 3993
Explanation:
3993 is the closest palindromic number to N(= 4000) which is also smaller than N(= 4000). Therefore, 3993 is the required answer.

Input: N = 2889
Output: 2882

Approach: Follow the steps below to solve the problem:

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++




// C++ program to implement
// the above approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to check if
// a number is palindrome or not
bool checkPalindrome(int N)
{
    // Stores reverse of N
    int rev = 0;
 
    // Stores the value of N
    int temp = N;
 
    // Calculate reverse of N
    while (N != 0) {
 
        // Update rev
        rev = rev * 10
              + N % 10;
 
        // Update N
        N = N / 10;
    }
 
    // Update N
    N = temp;
 
    // if N is equal to
    // rev of N
    if (N == rev) {
        return true;
    }
 
    return false;
}
 
// Function to find the closest
// smaller palindromic number to N
int closestSmallerPalindrome(int N)
{
 
    // Calculate closest smaller
    // palindromic number to N
    do {
 
        // Update N
        N--;
    } while (N >= 0
             && !checkPalindrome(N));
 
    return N;
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    int N = 4000;
    cout << closestSmallerPalindrome(N);
    return 0;
}

            // Update rev
            rev = rev * 10
                  + N % 10;
 
            // Update N
            N = N / 10;
        }
 
        // Update N
        N = temp;
