Solution: Largest Odd Number in String

Explore how to identify the largest odd-valued integer substring within a string by applying a greedy traversal from the end. This lesson helps you understand the role of odd digits in substrings and implement an optimal O(n) time solution with constant space complexity.

Statement

You are given a string, num, which represents a large integer. Your task is to find the largest odd-valued integer that can be formed as a non-empty substring of num. Return this odd integer as a string. If no odd integer exists, return an empty string ("").

Note: A substring is a continuous sequence of characters within a string.
