Description

Given a positive integer num, split it into two non-negative integers num1 and num2 such that:

- The concatenation of num1 and num2 is a permutation of num.



- In other words, the sum of the number of occurrences of each digit in num1 and num2 is equal to the number of occurrences of that digit in num.





- num1 and num2 can contain leading zeros.

Return the minimum possible sum of num1 and num2.

Notes:

- It is guaranteed that num does not contain any leading zeros.

- The order of occurrence of the digits in num1 and num2 may differ from the order of occurrence of num.

Example 1:

Input: num = 4325
Output: 59
Explanation: We can split 4325 so that num1 is 24 and num2 is 35, giving a sum of 59. We can prove that 59 is indeed the minimal possible sum.

Example 2:

Input: num = 687
Output: 75
Explanation: We can split 687 so that num1 is 68 and num2 is 7, which would give an optimal sum of 75.
