To solve this problem, we will need 2 variables, both initialised to `0`:\n* `res` is our accumulator, storing the maximum altitude seen so far;\n* `curr` is the current altitude.\n\nFor each element `n` in `gain`, we will:\n* update `curr` with `n`;\n* updated `res` so that it is going to be the highest value between itself and `curr`.\n\nOnce done, we can return `res` :)\n\nThe code:\n\n```cpp\nclass Solution {\npublic:\n int largestAltitude(vector<int>& gain) {\n // support variables\n int res = 0, curr = 0;\n for (int n: gain) {\n // updating curr\n curr += n;\n // updating res\n res = max(res, curr);\n }\n return res;\n }\n};\n```

# Intuition The problem at hand is about determining the largest altitude reached after a series of altitude gains and losses, given as a list of integers where each element represents the change in altitude at each step. To solve this problem, we need to track the cumulative altitude after each step and identify the highest altitude reached during the entire process. # Approach We can approach this problem by iterating through the given list of altitude gains and maintaining a running sum of the altitude as we process each change. Here's how we can approach the problem: Initialize the initial altitude: We start at an altitude of 0, and we will track the highest altitude reached using a variable. Iterate through the gains: For each element in the list, we adjust the current altitude and check if it exceeds the highest altitude recorded so far. Track the maximum altitude: After each update to the current altitude, we keep track of the maximum altitude reached so far. Return the result: After iterating through all the altitude gains, the result will be the maximum altitude reached. # Complexity - Time complexity: O(n) where n is the length of the gain list. We are iterating through the list once, performing constant time operations for each step. - Space complexity: O(n), since we are only maintaining a few variables to track the current altitude and the maximum altitude. # Code ```python3 [] class Solution: def largestAltitude(self, gain: List[int]) -> int: res = [0] for i in gain: val = res[-1]+i res.append(val) return max(res) ```

# TL;DR give me the answer:\n```Rust\nimpl Solution {\n pub fn largest_altitude(gain: Vec<i32>) -> i32 {\n gain.into_iter().fold((0, 0), |(c, m), x| (c + x, m.max(c + x))).1\n }\n}\n```\n\n\n# Approach\n\n## 1. Base intuition\nThis is a "find the maximum" problem which means we can apply dynamic programming principles to it. The final solution is a bottom-up (iterative) approach.\nFor this problem, we need to find the maximum altitude of *any* point in the graph. Mathematically, we are given differences in altitude between points, which might be thought of as a derivative. Thus we should compute the discrete summation and track the maximum value of the sum at each step.\n```Rust\n```\n\n## 2. Refining into one line\nWe can start by recognizing there is no need to store anything but the *running* maximum:\n```Rust\npub fn largest_altitude(gain: Vec<i32>) -> i32 {\n let mut current_altitude = 0;\n let mut maximum_altitude = 0;\n for gain_iterator in 0..(gain.len() - 1) {\n current_altitude += gain[gain_iterator];\n if (current_altitude > maximum_altitude){\n maximum_alititude = current_altitude;\n }\n }\n return maximum_altitude;\n}\n```\nBy utilising iterators on gain instead of `usize` (which is what `gain_iterator` defaults to otherwise):\n```Rust\nfor gain_iterator in gain.into_iter() {\n current_altitude += gain_iterator;\n```\nBut the magic really happens with `fold()`.\nFirst, we can take a hint from `current_altitude` and `maximum_altitude` as our *closure*:\n\n```Rust\n(0, 0) == (current_altitude, maximum_altitude)\n```\n\nThen, we need to update current altitude by the difference given to `fold()` by each iterator: `|(0, 0), gain_iterator|`.\n\nWe know this tuple needs to be updated with the new altitude:\n```Rust\n(current_altitude + gain_iterator, ...\n```\nand the running maximum between that new altitude and the previous maximum:\n```Rust\n... maximum_altitude.max(current_altitude + gain_iterator) )\n```\nSince the variable names don\'t matter, let\'s abbreviate:\n- c = current_altitude\n- m = maximum_altitude\n- x = gain_iterator \n\nThe closure expression is now:\n```Rust\n|(c, m), x| (c + x, m.max(c + x))\n```\n... which we use in `fold()`:\n```Rust\ngain.into_iter().fold((0, 0), |(c, m), x| (c + x, m.max(c + x)))\n```\nAnd we can easily access the maximum element of the tuple using `.1`:\n```Rust\ngain.into_iter().fold((0, 0), |(c, m), x| (c + x, m.max(c + x))).1\n```\nA `return` statement is unnecessary too, because by dropping the `;` at the end of this line, it becomes an evaluation.\n\n\n# Complexity\n- Time complexity:\nO(n)\n\n- Space complexity:\nO(1)\n\n# Code\n```\nimpl Solution {\n pub fn largest_altitude(gain: Vec<i32>) -> i32 {\n gain.into_iter().fold((0, 0), |(c, m), x| (c + x, m.max(c + x))).1\n }\n}\n```

# Intuition\n<!-- Describe your first thoughts on how to solve this problem. -->\nThe intuition behind the solution is to simulate the biker\'s road trip by calculating the altitude at each point. We start with an initial altitude of 0 and update it based on the gain between consecutive points. We keep track of the highest altitude reached during the trip.\n\n# Approach\n<!-- Describe your approach to solving the problem. -->\n1. Initialize the highest altitude and current altitude variables to 0.\n1. Iterate through the gain array.\n1. For each element in the gain array, update the current altitude by adding the gain.\n1. Use the Math.max function to compare the current altitude with the highest altitude and update the highest altitude if necessary.\n1. After iterating through the entire gain array, return the highest altitude.\n\n# Complexity\n- Time complexity:\n<!-- Add your time complexity here, e.g. $$O(n)$$ -->\nThe time complexity of the solution is O(n), where n is the length of the gain array. This is because we iterate through the gain array once to calculate the altitudes.\n\n- Space complexity:\n<!-- Add your space complexity here, e.g. $$O(n)$$ -->\nThe space complexity of the solution is O(1) because we only use a constant amount of extra space to store the highest altitude and current altitude variables. The space usage does not depend on the size of the input.\n\n# Code\n```\nclass Solution {\n public int largestAltitude(int[] gain) {\n int highestAltitude = 0;\n int currentAltitude = 0;\n \n for (int i = 0; i < gain.length; i++) \n {\n currentAltitude += gain[i];\n highestAltitude = Math.max(highestAltitude, currentAltitude);\n }\n \n return highestAltitude;\n }\n}\n```

Your goal is to figure out the highest altitude you reach during your hike! Sounds like fun, right? Let\'s dive into how to solve this step by step.\n\n# Approach\n1. Start at Sea Level (altitude = 0) \uD83C\uDF0A:\n <ul><li> Initially, you\'re at 0 altitude.</li>\n <li>The first step might make you go up \u2B06\uFE0F or down \u2B07\uFE0F. We need to keep track of the highest point we reach. Let\'s call this maxi (short for maximum altitude).</li>\n</ul>\n\n2. Cumulative Altitude Calculation \uD83D\uDD22:\n <ul><li>The values in gain[] don\u2019t tell you directly where you are but how much the altitude changes with each step.</li>\n <li>For each step, we update our current altitude based on the previous step: gain[i] = gain[i] + gain[i-1]. This way, we\u2019re calculating the total altitude after each step.</li>\n</ul>\n\n3. Track the Highest Altitude \uD83C\uDFD4\uFE0F:\n <ul><li>With each new altitude, we check if it\'s the highest we\'ve reached so far.</li>\n <li>We do this by comparing the current altitude gain[i] to maxi. If gain[i] is bigger, we update maxi.</li>\n</ul>\n\n4. Return the Maximum Altitude \uD83C\uDFC5:\n <ul><li>After checking all steps, maxi will have the highest altitude we\u2019ve reached during the hike! This is what we return.</li></ul>\n\n# Complexity\n- Time complexity:\n$$O(n)$$\n\n- Space complexity:\n$$O(1)$$ \n\n# Example Walkthrough (\uD83D\uDEB6 + \u26F0\uFE0F = fun!):\n\nLet\'s say we have the gain[] array: [-5, 1, 5, 0, -7].\n\nWe start at sea level:\n<ul><li>\n \uD83C\uDF0A Altitude = 0\n</li>\n</ul>\nNow let\u2019s walk through each step:\n<ul>\n<li>\n Step 1: -5\n \u2B07\uFE0F You go down by 5. Altitude is now 0 + (-5) = -5 \u274C (not higher than 0).\n</li>\n<li>\n Step 2: +1\n \u2B06\uFE0F You go up by 1. Altitude is now -5 + 1 = -4 \u274C (still not higher than 0).\n</li>\n<li>\n Step 3: +5\n \u2B06\uFE0F You climb by 5. Altitude is now -4 + 5 = 1 \uD83C\uDFC5 (new highest point so far!).\n</li>\n<li>\n Step 4: +0\n \u2796 You stay the same. Altitude remains 1. No change \uD83D\uDED1.\n</li>\n<li>\n Step 5: -7\n \u2B07\uFE0F You go down by 7. Altitude is now 1 + (-7) = -6 \u274C (lower than 1).\n</li>\n</ul>\nFinally, the highest altitude you reached was 1, so that\'s what we return! \uD83C\uDF89\n\n# Code\n```cpp []\nclass Solution {\npublic:\n int largestAltitude(vector<int>& gain) {\n int maxi=max(0,gain[0]);\n for(int i=1;i<gain.size();i++)\n {\n gain[i]+=gain[i-1];\n maxi=max(maxi,gain[i]);\n }\n\n return maxi;\n }\n};\n```\n\n

# Intuition\n<!-- Describe your first thoughts on how to solve this problem. -->\nThe given code represents a Java class called Solution with a method largestAltitude. The method takes an array gain as input, which represents the altitude gains at various points. The goal is to find the highest altitude reached during the journey.\n\nHere\'s how the code works:\n\nIt initializes two variables max and temp to 0.\n\nmax will keep track of the maximum altitude reached so far.\ntemp will store the current altitude as the loop progresses.\nIt then loops through the gain array from the beginning to the end.\n\nAt each iteration, it adds the current gain gain[i] to the temp variable, representing the altitude at that point.\nIt updates the max variable by taking the maximum value between the current max and temp using the Math.max method.\nThis ensures that max always holds the highest altitude reached during the journey up to the current point.\nFinally, the method returns the maximum altitude stored in the max variable.\n\nIn summary, the largestAltitude method calculates the altitude gained at each point and keeps track of the highest altitude reached during the journey. The maximum altitude is then returned as the result.\n\n# Approach\n<!-- Describe your approach to solving the problem. -->\nThe approach used in the given code is a simple iterative approach to find the largest altitude reached during a journey. Here\'s a step-by-step explanation of the approach:\n\nInitialize two variables, max and temp, to 0. These variables will be used to track the maximum altitude reached and the current altitude, respectively.\n\nIterate through the gain array using a for loop. At each iteration:\n\nAdd the current gain gain[i] to the temp variable. This represents the altitude at the current point.\nUpdate the max variable by taking the maximum value between the current max and temp using the Math.max() method. This ensures that max always holds the highest altitude reached during the journey up to the current point.\nAfter iterating through the entire gain array, the max variable will hold the largest altitude reached during the journey.\n\nReturn the value stored in the max variable as the result.\n\nIn summary, the approach calculates the altitude at each point by adding the gains from the gain array. It keeps track of the maximum altitude reached so far and returns that value as the final result.\n\n# Complexity\n- Time complexity:O(n)\n<!-- Add your time complexity here, e.g. $$O(n)$$ -->\n\n- Space complexity:O(1)\n<!-- Add your space complexity here, e.g. $$O(n)$$ -->\n\n# Code\n```\nclass Solution {\n public int largestAltitude(int[] gain) {\n int max=0,temp=0;\n for(int i=0;i<gain.length;i++){\n temp+=gain[i];\n max=Math.max(max,temp);\n }\n return max;\n }\n}\n```

# Intuition\nMy first thought to solve this problem is to use an incremental approach. Given that we start at altitude 0, we can keep adding the \'gain\' at each step to get the new altitude and track the maximum altitude reached at any point. This approach makes sense as the altitude at a given point is simply the sum of all the gains till that point.\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKg7CkstOaM\n\n# Approach\nWe start by initializing two variables, \'max_altitude\' and \'current_altitude\', both to 0. Then, we loop through the \'gain\' list, adding each value to \'current_altitude\'. After each addition, we compare \'current_altitude\' with \'max_altitude\'. If \'current_altitude\' is greater, we update \'max_altitude\' to the new value. The logic behind this is simple - we are climbing up (or down) a mountain, and we keep track of the highest point we\'ve reached so far. Once we\'ve gone through the entire list, we return \'max_altitude\' as the highest altitude reached.\n\n# Complexity\n- Time complexity:\nThe time complexity of this solution is O(n), where n is the length of the \'gain\' list. This is because we are traversing the \'gain\' list once.\n\n- Space complexity:\nThe space complexity of the solution is O(1). This is because we are using a constant amount of space to store the current and maximum altitudes, regardless of the input size.\n\n# Code\n```python []\nclass Solution:\n def largestAltitude(self, gain: List[int]) -> int:\n # Initialize the maximum altitude and the current altitude to 0 \n max_altitude = 0 \n current_altitude = 0 \n # Loop through the gain list \n for g in gain: \n # Add the current gain to the current altitude \n current_altitude += g \n # Check if the current altitude is higher than the max altitude \n if current_altitude > max_altitude: \n # If it is, update the max altitude \n max_altitude = current_altitude \n # Return the max altitude \n return max_altitude \n```\n```javascript []\nvar largestAltitude = function(gain) {\n let maxAltitude = 0;\n let currentAltitude = 0;\n \n for(let g of gain) {\n currentAltitude += g;\n if(currentAltitude > maxAltitude)\n maxAltitude = currentAltitude;\n }\n return maxAltitude;\n};\n```\n```rust []\nimpl Solution {\n pub fn largest_altitude(gain: Vec<i32>) -> i32 {\n let mut max_altitude = 0;\n let mut current_altitude = 0;\n\n for &g in gain.iter() {\n current_altitude += g;\n if current_altitude > max_altitude {\n max_altitude = current_altitude;\n }\n }\n max_altitude\n }\n}\n```\n```Go []\nfunc largestAltitude(gain []int) int {\n maxAltitude := 0\n currentAltitude := 0\n \n for _, g := range gain {\n currentAltitude += g\n if currentAltitude > maxAltitude {\n maxAltitude = currentAltitude\n }\n }\n return maxAltitude\n}\n\n```\n```C# []\npublic class Solution {\n public int LargestAltitude(int[] gain) {\n int maxAltitude = 0;\n int currentAltitude = 0;\n \n foreach(int g in gain){\n currentAltitude += g;\n if(currentAltitude > maxAltitude)\n maxAltitude = currentAltitude;\n }\n return maxAltitude;\n }\n}\n```\n

My first thought is to maintain a running total of the current altitude as we go through each gain/loss, and at each step, check if the current altitude is the highest we have encountered so far. This would allow us to track the largest altitude efficiently in a single pass.\n\n# Approach\n1. **Initialize two variables**: One to keep track of the current altitude (`current`) and another to store the maximum altitude encountered so far (`max_gain`).\n2. **Iterate through the `gain` array**: For each element, update the `current` altitude by adding the current gain/loss value to the previous `current` value.\n3. **Update `max_gain`**: After updating the current altitude, check if it\u2019s the highest altitude encountered. If it is, update `max_gain`.\n4. **Return `max_gain`** after finishing the loop, as it represents the largest altitude reached during the ride.\n\n# Complexity\n- Time complexity:\n The time complexity is $$O(n)$$ where $$n$$ is the number of elements in the `gain` list. We only iterate through the list once.\n\n- Space complexity:\n The space complexity is $$O(1)$$ since we only use two extra variables (`current` and `max_gain`) regardless of the input size.\n\n# Code\n```python\nclass Solution:\n def largestAltitude(self, gain: List[int]) -> int:\n current = 0\n max_gain = current\n for alt in gain:\n current += alt\n max_gain = max(max_gain, current)\n return max_gain

# Intuition\n<!-- Describe your first thoughts on how to solve this problem. -->\nTraverse through the array and keep track of the altitude at the $i$\'th index.\n\n# Approach\n<!-- Describe your approach to solving the problem. -->\nLet us keep track of the heights that the biker can be at throughout their journey. There are ```len(gain) + 1``` different points in the roadtrip (since the start is considered a point as well). Let us create an array ```heights``` of size ```len(gain) + 1``` which represents the altitude of the biker at the $i$\'th point. Initially, the array will be filled with 0\'s. \n\nNow, let use traverse through ```gain```. The altitude at ```heights[i]``` is the change in altitude from the altitude of the previous point in the journey. In other words, ```heights[i+1] = heights[i] + gain[i]```. After traversing through the entire input array, we can return the maximum altitude we come across as our answer. \n\nFor a slight optimization, we could define our result ```res``` to be 0 at the start of the loop and at each iteration, take the maximum between ```res``` and ```heights[i+1]``` and return res in the end. \n\nNote that there is no need to maintain the full array of the heights and we can initialize height to be 0 and keep adding the change in altitudes and then comparing them to res which would increase the memory effiency but this approach is more explicit.\n\n# Complexity\n- Time complexity: $$O(n)$$\n\n- Space complexity: $$O(n)$$\n<!-- Add your space complexity here, e.g. $$O(n)$$ -->\n\n# Code\n```\nclass Solution:\n def largestAltitude(self, gain: List[int]) -> int:\n # Initialze the result and the heights array\n res = 0\n heights = [0] * (len(gain) + 1)\n\n # Iterate through the input array and calculate the altitude\n # for the i\'th point in the journey\n for i in range(len(gain)):\n heights[i+1] = heights[i] + gain[i]\n # Update res to be the maximum altitude we have seen thus far\n res = max(res, heights[i+1])\n \n return res\n```

# 🚴 **Find the Highest Altitude During a Bike Trip** ## 🧠 **Intuition** The biker starts at altitude `0`. As they travel through different segments, their altitude increases or decreases based on the values in the `gain` array. Our goal is to find the highest altitude reached during the trip. The altitude at each step can be computed as: \[ \text{altitude}[i] = \text{altitude}[i-1] + \text{gain}[i-1] \] Instead of storing all altitude values, we only need to track the **current altitude** and **maximum altitude reached**. --- ## 🔍 **Approach** 1. **Initialize**: - `maxGain = 0` (tracks highest altitude reached) - `totalGain = 0` (tracks current altitude) 2. **Iterate through `gain[]`**: - Add `gain[i]` to `totalGain` to update current altitude. - Update `maxGain` if `totalGain` is higher than the previous maximum. 3. **Return `maxGain`**. This approach ensures we compute the answer in a **single pass** without extra storage. --- ## ⏳ **Complexity Analysis** - **Time Complexity:** \( O(n) \) (We iterate through the `gain` array once) - **Space Complexity:** \( O(1) \) (Only a few integer variables are used) --- ## 📜 **C++ Solution** ```cpp [] class Solution { public: int largestAltitude(vector<int>& gain) { int maxGain = 0; int totalGain = 0; for(int i = 0; i < gain.size(); i++) { totalGain += gain[i]; maxGain = max(maxGain, totalGain); } return maxGain; } }; ``` ```java [] class Solution { public int largestAltitude(int[] gain) { int maxGain = 0; int totalGain = 0; for (int i = 0; i < gain.length; i++) { totalGain += gain[i]; maxGain = Math.max(maxGain, totalGain); } return maxGain; } } ``` ```python [] class Solution: def largestAltitude(self, gain): maxGain = 0 totalGain = 0 for g in gain: totalGain += g maxGain = max(maxGain, totalGain) return maxGain ``` ```javascript [] var largestAltitude = function(gain) { let maxGain = 0, totalGain = 0; for (let g of gain) { totalGain += g; maxGain = Math.max(maxGain, totalGain); } return maxGain; }; ``` ## 📊 Example Walkthrough ### Example 1 Input: ```plaintext gain = [-5, 1, 5, 0, -7] ``` Altitude Calculation ``` Step Gain Altitude Start — 0 +(-5) -5 0 → -5 +1 -4 -5 → -4 +5 1 -4 → 1 ✅ (New max) +0 1 1 → 1 -7 -6 1 → -6 ``` ``` Output: 1 ``` ### Example 2 Input: ```plaintext gain = [-4, -3, -2, -1, 4, 3, 2] ``` Altitude Calculation ``` Step Gain Altitude Start — 0 -4 -4 0 → -4 -3 -7 -4 → -7 -2 -9 -7 → -9 -1 -10 -9 → -10 +4 -6 -10 → -6 +3 -3 -6 → -3 +2 -1 -3 → -1 ``` ``` Output: 0 ``` # ✅ Key Takeaways 1. Efficient computation with just one loop. 2. No extra space used (constant space complexity). 3. Iterate once and track the highest altitude in real-time. 🚀 Optimized for large inputs!

# Intuition\nThe problem is about finding the largest altitude reached after a series of altitude gains. Initially, the altitude is 0, and the gains are cumulative changes to the altitude. To find the highest altitude, we need to keep track of the cumulative altitude after each gain and record the maximum value.\n\n# Approach\n1. **Initialize Variables**: \n - Start with `minAltitude = 0` since the initial altitude is 0, and we are interested in the highest point reached.\n - A variable `sum` is used to keep track of the cumulative altitude, starting from 0.\n\n2. **Iterate Through the Gain Array**:\n - For each value in the `gain` array, add it to `sum` (which represents the current altitude).\n - After updating the altitude, compare it to `minAltitude`. If the current altitude is greater than `minAltitude`, update `minAltitude`.\n\n3. **Return the Result**:\n - At the end of the loop, return the highest altitude recorded (`minAltitude`).\n\n# Complexity\n- **Time Complexity**: \n - The algorithm iterates through the `gain` array exactly once. Therefore, the time complexity is **O(n)**, where **n** is the length of the `gain` array.\n\n- **Space Complexity**: \n - The algorithm uses a constant amount of extra space (`sum` and `minAltitude` variables). Thus, the space complexity is **O(1)**.\n\n# Example\nFor the input `gain = [-5, 1, 5, 0, -7]`:\n\n- Initially, `minAltitude = 0` and `sum = 0`.\n- Iterating through `gain`:\n - After adding `-5`: `sum = -5`, `minAltitude = max(0, -5) = 0`.\n - After adding `1`: `sum = -4`, `minAltitude = max(0, -4) = 0`.\n - After adding `5`: `sum = 1`, `minAltitude = max(0, 1) = 1`.\n - After adding `0`: `sum = 1`, `minAltitude = max(1, 1) = 1`.\n - After adding `-7`: `sum = -6`, `minAltitude = max(1, -6) = 1`.\n\nThus, the largest altitude reached is 1.\n\n# Code\n```java []\nclass Solution {\n public int largestAltitude(int[] gain) {\n int minAltitude = 0;\n int sum = 0;\n for (int i = 0; i < gain.length; i++) {\n sum = sum + gain[i];\n minAltitude = Math.max(sum, minAltitude);\n }\n return minAltitude;\n }\n}\n```

We need to replace one symbol and to get the smallest string as possible. First, we try to change elements on the smaller positions: imagine we have string `xyzyx` - where `x, y, z` can be any symbols. If `x` is not equal to `"a"`, then if we replace this symbol with `"a"` we will break palindrome and it will be as small as possible. However if `x = "a"`, it is not optimal to replace it to say `"b"`, we can only make our string bigger. So, we move to the next element `y` and so on. Notice that we can not change `z` in this case, because we will not break palindrome property.\n\nWhat happens, if we reached the last element and were not able to apply strategy above? Then we have string like this `aaaaaa..aaaaaa` or `aaaaaa...z...aaaaaa`, where `z` can be any symbol. In this case to get the smalles string as possible we need to replace last symbol to `"b"`. Also there is case when `n = 1`, and we can not break palindrome property so we return `""`.\n\n#### Complexity\nIt is `O(n)` for time and for space.\n\n#### Code\n```python\nclass Solution:\n def breakPalindrome(self, pal):\n n = len(pal)\n for i in range(n//2):\n if pal[i] != "a": return pal[:i] + "a" + pal[i+1:]\n return pal[:-1] + "b" if n > 1 else ""\n```\n\nIf you have any questoins, feel free to ask.

Note, we only need to iterate until arr.length/2 because it is guaranteed that anything afterwards is a repetition of the characters we have already encountered. Also, arr.length/2 avoids the error of changing the center character in an odd-lengthed string, which has no effect on it.\n\nEX: "aabaa" -> "aaaaa" is still a palindrome **|** therefore, arr.length/2, which is 2, will not reach the middle character. \nEX: "aaaaa" -> "aaaab" is the smallest. We need to change the **LAST non-a** because anything else will be larger ( "aaaba" > "aaaab" in the dictionary) \n\nHopefully this helps. :)

One far right, the other far left.\n```\nT E N E T\n^ ^\nT == T\n\nT E N E T\n ^ ^\nE == E\n\nT E N E T\n ^^\nN == N\nYay! valid palindrome\n```\nYou can break a pallindrome at any of the point T=T; E=E; N=N.\n**Rules** : \n1. Only choose / change one element .\n2. Only change element at the first pointer. \n3. If the above (rule 2) is not possible, change the element last element.\n\nNow, given the following condition we can\'t just change an element to any letter :\n\n**Condition**\n```...string becomes the lexicographically smallest possible```\nLexicographical order : a < b < c < d < e ..... < z . \na is smallest, followed by b then c... z is largest. As a consequence :\n*Reason for rule 2* : \nT E N E T : (changing element at first pointer vesus element at second pointer)\n(A) E N E T < T E N E (A) -: (A) E N E T lexicographically smallest\nT (A) N E T < T E N (A) T -: T (A) N E T lexicographically smallest\n\n*Reason for rule 3 :*\nGiven : A A A A C , lexicographically smallest : A A A A B \nGiven : A A A A A , lexicographically smallest RESULT - A A A A B \n\nGenerally, think about how words are arranged in the dictionary.\n\nIntuitively to get the lexicographically smallest string possible you have two options, a or b.\n\n**Intuition**\nYou can only choose one letter a or b. And please,**Remember rule 1** . \nIf you find a non-\'a\' element change it to \'a\'. **Remember rule 2**\nIf every element is an "a", then change the last element to "b". **Remember rule 3**\n\n**Algorithm**\n* Iterate through the palindrome string,\n* If the element at the first pointer is "a" you shouldnt change that. Continue.\n* When the element at the first pointer is not "a", change it to "a" return the modified string\n* If no change has occured and the iteration ends,\nCheck: \n* If the string contains only one letter, no possible change can be made return empty string\n* Else change the last letter to b and return the modified string.\n
