2566. Maximum Difference by Remapping a Digit ¶
Problem
You are given an integer num
. You know that Danny Mittal will sneakily remap one of the 10
possible digits (0
to 9
) to another digit.
Return the difference between the maximum and minimum values Danny can make by remapping exactly one digit in num
.
Notes:
- When Danny remaps a digit d1 to another digit d2, Danny replaces all occurrences of
d1
innum
withd2
. - Danny can remap a digit to itself, in which case
num
does not change. - Danny can remap different digits for obtaining minimum and maximum values respectively.
- The resulting number after remapping can contain leading zeroes.
- We mentioned "Danny Mittal" to congratulate him on being in the top 10 in Weekly Contest 326.
Example 1:
Input: num = 11891 Output: 99009 Explanation: To achieve the maximum value, Danny can remap the digit 1 to the digit 9 to yield 99899. To achieve the minimum value, Danny can remap the digit 1 to the digit 0, yielding 890. The difference between these two numbers is 99009.
Example 2:
Input: num = 90 Output: 99 Explanation: The maximum value that can be returned by the function is 99 (if 0 is replaced by 9) and the minimum value that can be returned by the function is 0 (if 9 is replaced by 0). Thus, we return 99.
Constraints:
1 <= num <= 108
