Btw, base on your idea then I found out a solution (edit a little bit):
We need to store the index of the first appearance of decreasing character, for example:
11110 ( the decreasing character is '1', but we need to store the index of the first time appearance of it in the number, the index here is number 0).
12344296 ( the decreasing character is '4' and we store the index of its first appearance, is 3)
Finally, we split the origin in 3 parts: ( assume our digits testcase right now is 12344296)
Firstly, the starting digits are digits.substring(0, indexAbove) -- 123
Secondly, only 1 digit in which value decreases by 1. -- 3
Finally, the latter part is 9999, you can concat the result to the number which equals to 10** (digits.length - indexAbove) - 1 , ** is power operator.
Thank you for reading my idea.
