Leetcode Magical String problem solution

YASH PAL, 31 July 202422 January 2026

In this Leetcode Magical String problem solution, we have given an integer n, return the largest palindromic integer that can be represented as the product of two n-digits integers. Since the answer can be very large, return it modulo 1337.
