An integer has monotone increasing digits if and only if each pair of adjacent digits x and y satisfy x <= y.

Given an integer n, return the largest number that is less than or equal to n with monotone increasing digits.

 

Example 1:

Input: n = 10
Output: 9

Example 2:

Input: n = 1234
Output: 1234

Example 3:

Input: n = 332
Output: 299

 

Constraints:

  • 0 <= n <= 109

Hints

Hint 1
Build the answer digit by digit, adding the largest possible one that would make the number still less than or equal to N.
