You have been given two Strings “STR1” and “STR2” of characters. Your task is to find the length of the longest common subsequence.

A String ‘a’ is a subsequence of a String ‘b’ if ‘a’ can be obtained from ‘b’ by deletion of several (possibly, zero or all) characters. A common subsequence of two Strings is a subsequence that is common to both Strings.

AppleeBayMorgan Stanley

You have been given a string ‘S' representing a number. Your task is to find the closest palindromic number from this integer represented by 'S'. The closest number is defined as the one for which the absolute difference between the given integer represented by 'S' and the palindrome number is minimum. If more than one number have the same difference then return the smaller integer.

Example:

Let 'S' is 121. Then the nearest integers are 111 and 131 which are palindrome. Both have the same absolute difference but 111 is smaller. Hence 111 is the answer.
