<p>You are given a string <code>num</code>, representing a large integer. Return <em>the <strong>largest-valued odd</strong> integer (as a string) that is a <strong>non-empty substring</strong> of </em><code>num</code><em>, or an empty string </em><code>&quot;&quot;</code><em> if no odd integer exists</em>.</p>

<p>A <strong>substring</strong> is a contiguous sequence of characters within a string.</p>

<p><strong class="example">Example 1:</strong></p>

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> num = &quot;52&quot;
<strong>Output:</strong> &quot;5&quot;
<strong>Explanation:</strong> The only non-empty substrings are &quot;5&quot;, &quot;2&quot;, and &quot;52&quot;. &quot;5&quot; is the only odd number.

<strong>Output:</strong> &quot;35427&quot;
<strong>Explanation:</strong> &quot;35427&quot; is already an odd number.

<p><strong>Constraints:</strong></p>

<ul>
