Problem:

You are given a large integer represented as an integer array digits, where each digits[i] is the ith digit of the integer. The digits are ordered from most significant to least significant in left-to-right order. The large integer does not contain any leading 0's.

Increment the large integer by one and return the resulting array of digits.

Example 1:

Input: digits = [1,2,3]
Output: [1,2,4]
Explanation: The array represents the integer 123.
Incrementing by one gives 123 + 1 = 124.
Thus, the result should be [1,2,4].

Example 2:

Input: digits = [4,3,2,1]
Output: [4,3,2,2]
Explanation: The array represents the integer 4321.
Incrementing by one gives 4321 + 1 = 4322.
Thus, the result should be [4,3,2,2].

Example 3:

Input: digits = [0]
Output: [1]
Explanation: The array represents the integer 0.
Incrementing by one gives 0 + 1 = 1.
Thus, the result should be [1].

Example 4:

Input: digits = [9]
Output: [1,0]
Explanation: The array represents the integer 9.
Incrementing by one gives 9 + 1 = 10.
Thus, the result should be [1,0].

Constraints:

  • 1 <= digits.length <= 100
  • 0 <= digits[i] <= 9
  • digits does not contain any leading 0's.

Solution:

class Solution(object):
def plusOne(self, digits):
"""
:type digits: List[int]
:rtype: List[int]
"""
string_representation = ""

for i in digits:
string_representation += str(i)
integer = int(string_representation) + 1
map_object = map(int, str(integer))
return list(map_object)
