Mirror Distance of an Integer

Easy

You receive an integer n.

Define its mirror distance as: abs(n - reverse(n)) where reverse(n) is the integer formed by reversing the digits of n.

Find and provide an integer denoting the mirror distance of n.

abs(x) denotes the absolute value of x.

Example 1

Input: n = 25

Output: 27

Explanation:

  • reverse(25) = 52.

  • Thus, the answer is abs(25 - 52) = 27.

Example 2

Input: n = 10

Output: 9

Explanation:

  • reverse(10) = 01 which is 1.

  • Thus, the answer is abs(10 - 1) = 9.

Example 3

Input: n = 7

Output: 0

Explanation:

  • reverse(7) = 7.

  • Thus, the answer is abs(7 - 7) = 0.

Constraints

  • 1 <= n <= 10^9
