LeetCode in Kotlin

1903. Largest Odd Number in String

Easy

You are given a string num, representing a large integer. Return the largest-valued odd integer (as a string) that is a non-empty substring of num, or an empty string "" if no odd integer exists.

A substring is a contiguous sequence of characters within a string.

Example 1:

Input: num = “52”

Output: “5”

Explanation: The only non-empty substrings are “5”, “2”, and “52”. “5” is the only odd number.

Example 2:

Input: num = “4206”

Output: “”

Explanation: There are no odd numbers in “4206”.

Example 3:

Input: num = “35427”

Output: “35427”

Explanation: “35427” is already an odd number.

Solution

class Solution {
    fun largestOddNumber(num: String): String {
        for (i in num.length - 1 downTo 0) {
            if (("" + num[i]).toInt() % 2 == 1) {
                return num.substring(0, i + 1)
            }
        }
        return ""
    }
}
