Find the next smallest palindrome for a number


For a given a number, find the next smallest palindrome larger than this number.

Examples:
1. If the input number is “3 4 6 5 6”, the output should be “3 4 7 4 3”.
2. If the input number is “9 9 9 9”, the output should be “1 0 0 0 1”.

Approach:
There can be three different cases those should be handled separately.
1) The input number is palindrome and has all 9s.
Example
Input: 9 9 9 9
Output:1 0 0 0 1.

It can be get by adding 2 into the number.

2) The input number is not palindrome.
Example
Input: 2 3 4 5
Output:2 4 4 2.

3) The input number is palindrome and doesn’t have all 9s.
Example
Input: 2 3 3 2.
Output:2 4 4 2.
