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.

\n\n

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

\n\n

 

\n

Example 1:

\n\n
\nInput: n = "123"\nOutput: "121"\n
\n\n

Example 2:

\n\n
\nInput: n = "1"\nOutput: "0"\nExplanation: 0 and 2 are the closest palindromes but we return the smallest which is 0.\n
