681. Next Closet Time
Given a time represented in the format "HH:MM", form the next closest time by reusing the current digits. There is no limit on how many times a digit can be reused.
You may assume the given input string is always valid. For example, "01:34", "12:09" are all valid. "1:34", "12:9" are all invalid.
Example 1:
Input:
"19:34"
Output:
"19:39"
Explanation:
The next closest time choosing from digits 1, 9, 3, 4, is 19:39, which occurs 5 minutes later. It is not 19:33,
because this occurs 23 hours and 59 minutes later.Example 2:
Input:
"23:59"
Output:
"22:22"
Explanation:
The next closest time choosing from digits 2, 3, 5, 9, is 22:22.
It may be assumed that the returned time is next day's time since it is smaller than the input time numerically.Thoughts:
Brutally find all the digits increments (24*60), rank the time
Using time increments to find the closest time
