LeetCode 7. Reverse Integer

Description

https://leetcode.com/problems/reverse-integer/

Reverse digits of an integer.

Example1: x = 123, return 321
Example2: x = -123, return -321

Explanation

The question is about writing a function to reverse an integer and return the reversed integer.

We make a while loop to perform reverse operation. For each loop, we divide the original number by 10 and add remainder to the result.

In Java, an integer is 32-bit ranging from 2³¹ – 1 to -2³¹. If the input number is -2³¹, it gets overflows after reversingbecause we wouldn’t have positive 2³¹. In that case, reversed * 10 / 10 != reversed, we return 0.

Java Solution

public class Solution {

  public int reverse(int x) {
    int reversed = 0;
    while (x != 0) {
      int temp = reversed * 10 + x % 10;
      x = x / 10;
      if (temp / 10 != reversed) {
        return 0;
      }
      reversed = temp;
    }

    return reversed;
  }
}

Python Solution

class Solution:
    def reverse(self, x: int) -> int:        
        result = 0
        
        is_negative = False
        if x < 0:
            is_negative = True
            x = -x
        
        while x > 0:            
            result = result * 10 + x % 10
            x = x // 10
        
        if result > 2**31 - 1 or result < -2**31:
            return 0
        
        if is_negative:
            result = -result
        
        return result
