48. Write a JavaScript function to get the successor of a string. Go to the editor

Note: The successor is calculated by incrementing characters starting from the rightmost alphanumeric (or the rightmost character if there are no alphanumerics) in the string. Incrementing a digit always results in another digit, and incrementing a letter results in another letter of the same case. If the increment generates a carry, the character to the left of it is incremented. This process repeats until there is no carry, adding an additional character if necessary.
Example :
string.successor("abcd") == "abce"
string.successor("THX1138") == "THX1139"
string.successor("< >") == "< >"
string.successor("1999zzz") == "2000aaa"
string.successor("ZZZ9999") == "AAAA0000"

Test Data :
console.log(successor('abcd'));
console.log(successor('3456'));
"abce"
"3457"
