Given a value n, find out the largest palindrome number which is product of two n digit numbers.
Examples :
Input : n = 2 Output : 9009 9009 is the largest number which is product of two 2-digit numbers. 9009 = 91*99. Input : n = 3 Output : 906609
Below are steps to find the required number.
- Find a lower limit on n digit numbers. For example, for n = 2, lower_limit is 10.
- Find an upper limit on n digit numbers. For example, for n = 2, upper_limit is 99.
- Consider all pairs of numbers wherever number lies in range [lower_limit, upper_limit]
Below is the implementation of above steps.

Output :
9009
Time Complexity: O(n*n*log10(product)), where n is the upper limit calculated and product is (product of two n-digit numbers)
Auxiliary Space: O(1), as no extra space is required|
