CHALLENGE find number palindrome

This task was a qualifier task for the programmer olympics You need to find a palindrome greater than the number entered. A palindrome is a word, phrase, number, or other sequence of characters which reads the same backward as forward, such as "madam" or "taco cat" or "race car". The palindrome must 1)be minimally bigger than the input number 2)input should to support the 10^6 digits and less example: input: output: 123456 -> 124421 1234567 -> 1235321 999 -> 1001 my solution on java https://code.sololearn.com/ch5iVEdPYRDx/#java

@rusich You want 969969 to also search for the next palindrome instead of returning itself? Just fixed it if that's the case.

@rusich.. No; it does work for 777 and 999 I gave 776 and 998 as inputs.. And the output was 777 and 999 respectively. What did you give as the input?

@yash No, i mean if you enter number 777 in input it's does not work, in output we must get number 787 or for 999 output is 1001

@VcC You must find the closest palindrome greater than a provided number. Polinum for number 999 not 999 and etc. program output: 999 => 999 969 => 969 9799979 => 9799979 959959 => 959959
