Strictly Palindromic Number

An integer n is strictly palindromic if, for every base b between 2 and n - 2 (inclusive), the string representation of the integer n in base b is palindromic.

An integer n is strictly palindromic if, for every base b between 2 and n - 2 (inclusive), the string representation of the integer n in base b is palindromic.

Given an integer n, return true if n is strictly palindromic and false otherwise.

A string is palindromic if it reads the same forward and backward.

Example 1

Input: n = 9

Output: false

Explanation: In base 2: 9 = 1001 (base 2), which is palindromic. In base 3: 9 = 100 (base 3), which is not palindromic. Therefore, 9 is not strictly palindromic so we return false. Note that in bases 4, 5, 6, and 7, n = 9 is also not palindromic.

Example 2

Input: n = 4

Output: false

Explanation: We only consider base 2: 4 = 100 (base 2), which is not palindromic. Therefore, we return false.

Constraints

  • 4 <= n <= 10^5
