# Time:  O(n^(3/2))

# Find the smallest prime palindrome greater than or equal to N.
# Recall that a number is prime if it's only divisors are 1 and itself,
# and it is greater than 1.
#
# For example, 2,3,5,7,11 and 13 are primes.
#
# Recall that a number is a palindrome if it reads the same from
# left to right as it does from right to left.
#
# For example, 12321 is a palindrome.
#
# Example 1:
#
# Input: 6
# Output: 7
# Example 2:
#
# Input: 8
# Output: 11
# Example 3:
#
# Input: 13
# Output: 101
#
# Note:
# - 1 <= N <= 10^8
# - The answer is guaranteed to exist and be less than 2 * 10^8.
