Problem Statement

Problem Statement

We say that two integer numbers differ from each other by one digit, when in their decimal notation, possibly with leading zeros, they will differ in exactly one position. For example numbers 128 and 28 differ by one digit:
	128
	028
But numbers 2047 and 40 differ by two digits:
	2047
	0040
Given the number N, find and return the smallest possible non-negative number M, such that number N and M differ from each other by exactly one digit.

Constraints

  • N will be between 0 and 2,000,000,000, inclusive.

9
Returns: 0

0 is the smallest non-negative number and differs by only one digit.

156)
0
Returns: 1

The result number is not always smaller than N.

157)
900000123
Returns: 123

Leading zeros in the result are okay: 900000123 000000123

158)
30000
Returns: 0

Leading zeros are okay also with 0 as a result: 30000 00000
