1328. Break a Palindrome
https://leetcode.com/problems/break-a-palindrome
Description
Given a palindromic string of lowercase English letters palindrome
, replace exactly one character with any lowercase English letter so that the resulting string is not a palindrome and that it is the lexicographically smallest one possible.
Return the resulting string. If there is no way to replace a character to make it not a palindrome, return an empty string.
A string a
is lexicographically smaller than a string b
(of the same length) if in the first position where a
and b
differ, a
has a character strictly smaller than the corresponding character in b
. For example, "abcc"
is lexicographically smaller than "abcd"
because the first position they differ is at the fourth character, and 'c'
is smaller than 'd'
.
Example 1:
Example 2:
Example 3:
Example 4:
Constraints:
1 <= palindrome.length <= 1000
palindrome
consists of only lowercase English letters.
