Something that interested me this week

We took our baby on her first plane ride this past week! It was incredibly nerve-wracking, but she was a champ and slept most of the time, thank goodness. We traveled to see a bunch of friends and family and it was definitely a huge learning experience for us to be that mobile with a 6-month-old. Phew!

Interview question of the week

Last week, I had you delete characters to make palindromes. Good work Saad, Augustin, Jonnie, Sreetam, Miguel, Laurynas, Tawseef, Martin, Frederik, Ten, Neil, Andy, and Don!

This week's question:
Given a number, rearrange its digits to make it the next larger number. So not the maximum size it can be, but the lexicographically next greater permutation of numbers!

Example:

> lexoNext(123)
> 132

> lexoNext(314159)
> 314195
