You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
A truncatable prime is prime number that when you successively remove digits from one end of the prime, you are left with a new prime number; for example, the number 997 is called a left-truncatable prime as the numbers 997, 97, and 7 are all prime. The number 7393 is a right-truncatable prime as the numbers 7393, 739, 73, and 7 formed by removing digits from its right are also prime.
The task is to find the largest left-truncatable and right-truncatable primes less than one million.
