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.
The closest is defined as the absolute difference minimized between two integers.
Example 1:
Input: n = "123" Output: "121"
Example 2:
Input: n = "1" Output: "0" Explanation: 0 and 2 are the closest palindromes but we return the smallest which is 0.
Constraints:
1 <= n.length <= 18
n consists of only digits.
n does not have leading zeros.
n is representing an integer in the range [1, 10¹⁸ - 1].
