any numbers ±1

đŸ¤”
Most people interpreted that as only a single number could vary at a time, others took the example too literally as the full number +- 1...

So I thought...

What if any numberS (plural) means any number of digits can vary...?

const neighbourSingle = (num) => [...new Set([ clamp(num-1), num, clamp(num+1) ])];
const clamp = (num) => Math.min(Math.max(num, 0), 9);
/*
neighbourSingle(5) === [4, 5, 6]
neighbourSingle(0) === [0, 1]
*/

const neighbours = (phoneString) => {
    return phoneString.split("").reduce((a,b) => a.flatMap(c=> neighbourSingle(parseInt(b)).map(d=> c+d)) ,[""])
}
/*
