SUCH A LIFE SAVER THANK YOU FOR THIS!

You're very welcome! 😀

Well explanation, thank you

What happens when last digit takens as zero Ex:- if i want to reverse a num 7890 What will the output I run the program of 7890 I got the output as 987 but it doesn't show 0 at starting in reverse of a number. Could pls explain this.

[@JoãoPedroTrindadeMelo]

zero at left doesn't count

[@cobblie8789]

Is there any way to do this without using a loop?

[@kartikthakur6931]

what will this program do at 1111111113, as it's reversal will be out of int -datatype value limits.

[@AcunPearce]

you can use long data type

Which code editor is it?

[@PortfolioCourses]

In this video I am using Xcode on a Mac. :-)

Thanks 😅

thanks!

Try reversing a negative number with this programme :)

[@PortfolioCourses]

It works with negative numbers. :-)

[@lumiplex404]

@@PortfolioCourses Try it, it will throw the code into an infinite loop because negative numbers don't return 0 after dividing it again and again. Only 1 minus(-) can change the whole game. Maybe thats why my maths teacher told me to be careful if the problem contains minus 😆

[@PortfolioCourses]

@@lumiplex404 No that's incorrect, it works. Did you try it? I tried using negative numbers before I created the video, and then again after your comment, and it works. I've now tried it for a 3rd time on 3 different compilers, and it still works. 🙂

@@PortfolioCourses Even in the leetcode solutions, they avoided negative numbers in the following way if x < 0: return False

[@PortfolioCourses]

@@lumiplex404 I don't understand what leetcode has to do with this solution being correct or incorrect with negative integers. Did you try it yet? The code is available here: github.com/portfoliocourses/c-example-code/blob/main/reverse_integer.c

How to reverse an integer with leading zeroes or only zeroes? Like : Input: 009921 Ouput: 129900 Input: 000 Output: 000 Thanks in advance!

[@PortfolioCourses]

How is the integer stored in this case? As a string? If so we could just reverse the string. If it's not stored as a string, then how do we know how many leading zeros there are?

[@lumiplex404]

the leading zeros don't have a value so thee programme wouldn't count them or know how many zeros were used there.

[@mxhell3867]

@@PortfolioCourses sorry for late reply, yeah we have to work with strings otherwise we won't even know if user put any zeroes..

[@PortfolioCourses]

@@mxhell3867 Ah OK, well if it's a string, and it's a positive integer for sure, then you could technically just reverse the string itself: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqW2eZalqpWKf9U. 🙂 If it could be a negative number, then you could check if the first char in the string is '-', and if it is, reverse the portion of the string after the '-' only.
