Step-by-step explanation:
Ifyou assume strictly positive decimal integers, with no leading zeroes, then the smallest 4-digit number is 1000 and its predecessor is 999.
However, those assumptions are really not trivial. Some examples:
If we allow leading zeroes then you could suggest 0001 and its predecessor 0 (or 0000 and -1 if you allow 0 to be considered positive)
If we allow nondecimal bases then there's the unary 1111 (4) and its predecessor 111 (3)
If we allow negative numbers there's -9999 and its predecessor -10000
If we allow non-integers then you've got 0.001 or perhaps .0001 and … we'll need a better definition for "predecessor"
These assumption-breaks can also be combined for even more possible answers. For example, if
