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

public class Solution {
    public String largestOddNumber(String num) {
        String str = "";
        for (int i = num.length() - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
            char c = num.charAt(i);
            if (c % 2 == 1) {
                str = num.substring(0, i + 1);
                break;
            }
        }
        return str;
    }
}
