You are given a string num, representing a large integer. Return the largest-valued odd integer (as a string) that is a non-empty substring of num, or an empty string "" if no odd integer exists.

A substring is a contiguous sequence of characters within a string.

 

Example 1:

Input: num = "52"
Output: "5"
Explanation: The only non-empty substrings are "5", "2", and "52". "5" is the only odd number.

Example 2:

Input: num = "4206"
Output: ""
Explanation: There are no odd numbers in "4206".

Example 3:

Input: num = "35427"
Output: "35427"
Explanation: "35427" is already an odd number.

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= num.length <= 105
  • num only consists of digits and does not contain any leading zeros.
