You are given a string S which represents a number. You have to find the smallest number strictly greater than the given number which contains the same set of digits as of the original number i.e the frequency of each digit from 0 to 9 should be exactly the same as in the original number.

For example:
If the given string is 56789, then the next greater number is 56798. Note that although 56790 is also greater than the given number it contains 1 '0' which is not in the original number and also it does not contain the digit '8'.

Note:

The given string is non-empty.

If the answer does not exist, then return -1.

The given number does not contain any leading zeros.
Problem approach

I have done this question earlier so just use already built algorithm which traverses the number from the back.

Given an array ‘A’ of ‘N’ integers, you need to find the maximum length of the sub-array such that the absolute difference between the adjacent elements of the sub-array should be either 0 or 1.

A sub-array is a contiguous section of original elements of the array.

For Example

Let us say  A = [2,4,6,7,6,9], then adjacent elements of sub array [6,7,6] have absolute difference of either 0 or 1 and this is the maximum length sub-array. So the required answer will be 3.
Problem approach

This was a simple array problem. I solved this using question as:
Starting from the first element of the array, find the first valid sub-array and store its length then starting from the next element (the first element that wasn’t included in the first sub-array), find another valid sub-array. Repeat the process until all the valid sub-arrays have been found then print the length of the maximum sub-array.
