Problem
You are given an integer num
. You will apply the following steps exactly two times:
- Pick a digit
x (0 <= x <= 9)
. - Pick another digit
y (0 <= y <= 9)
. The digity
can be equal tox
. - Replace all the occurrences of
x
in the decimal representation ofnum
byy
. - The new integer cannot have any leading zeros, also the new integer cannot be 0.
Let a
and b
be the results of applying the operations to num
the first and second times, respectively.
Return the max difference between a
and b
.
Example 1:
Input: num = 555 Output: 888 Explanation: The first time pick x = 5 and y = 9 and store the new integer in a. The second time pick x = 5 and y = 1 and store the new integer in b. We have now a = 999 and b = 111 and max difference = 888
Example 2:
Input: num = 9 Output: 8 Explanation: The first time pick x = 9 and y = 9 and store the new integer in a. The second time pick x = 9 and y = 1 and store the new integer in b. We have now a = 9 and b = 1 and max difference = 8
Constraints:
1 <= num <= 10
