Two functions Diff (N) and Sum (N) are defined as follows: Diff (N) takes a non-negative integer N as a parameter and returns the difference of N and the number obtained by reversing the digit/digits of N. ‘Sum (N) takes a non-negative integer N as a parameter and returns the sum of N and the number obtained by reversing the digit/ digits of N. For a two-digit natural number Y, a set of six non-negative integers (A, B, C, D, E, F)is defined such that A= Diff (¥); B=Diff(A); C=DifB); — D= Diff (©); DiffD); — F=Dilt&) 22.
