Answer to Question #187108 in Python for mani

Question

Closest Palindrome Number

Given a string N, representing an integer, return the closest integer (not including itself), which is a palindrome. If there is a tie, return the smaller one.

The closest is defined as the absolute difference minimized between two integers.

Input

The input will be a single line containing an integer.

Output

The output should be a single line containing the closest palindrome number to the given integer.

Explanation

For example, if the given integer is 19, the palindrome number greater than 19 is 22 and the palindrome number less than 19 is 11. As 22 is closest to the number 19. So the output should be 22.

For example, if the given integer is 15, the palindrome number greater than 15 is 22 and the palindrome number less than 15 is 11. As 11 is closest to the number 19. So the output should be 11.

Sample Input 1

19

Sample Output 1

22

Sample Input 2

15

Sample Output 2

11
