Maximum Difference by Remapping a Digit

🏠 ⬅️ ➡️

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 in num with d2.
  • 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

  2. Iterate through each character c in num_str and perform the following steps: a. Compute the integer digit from the character c. b. Update max_remap to be the maximum of its current value and 9 - digit. c. If digit is not 0, update min_remap to be the minimum of its current value and digit.
  3. Calculate max_value by adding max_remap multiplied by the number of occurrences where the digit 9 - max_remap appears in the string num_str.
  4. Calculate min_value by subtracting min_remap multiplied by the number of occurrences where the digit min_remap appears in the string num_str.
