In 1949 the mathematician D. R. Kaprekar, devised a process now known as Kaprekar's operation. First choose a four digit number where the digits are not all the same (that is not 1111, 2222,...). Then rearrange the digits to get the largest and smallest numbers these digits can make. Finally, subtract the smallest number from the largest to get a new number, and carry on repeating the operation for each new number.
Let's try it out, starting with the number 2005, the digits of last
year. The maximum number we can make with these digits is 5200, and
the minimum is 0025 or 25 (if one or more of the digits is zero, embed
these in the left hand side of the minimum number)
5200 - 0025 = 5175
7551 - 1557 = 5994
9954 - 4599 = 5355
5553 - 3555 = 1998
9981 - 1899 = 8082
8820 - 0288 = 8532
8532 - 2358 = 6174
Now Objective is verify this theorem & find the number of iteration take to reach 6174.
Can anyone give a better algorithm? Here is my code.
public int VerifyKaprekarTheorem(int m) {
if (m <= 1000 || m > 9999) {
return -1;
}
String orginal = String.valueOf(m);
int count = 0;
while (true) {
int Max = Integer.parseInt(sortString(orginal, false));
int Min = Integer.parseInt(sortString(orginal, true));
count++;
int diff = Max - Min;
if (diff == 6174) {
break;
}
orginal = String.valueOf(diff);
}
return count;
}
public static String sortString(String Source, boolean assendingOrder) {
char[] original = String.valueOf(Source).toCharArray();
Arrays.sort(original);
if (assendingOrder) {
return new String(original);
}
char[] dessending = new char[original.length];
for (int i = original.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
dessending[i] = original[(original.length - 1) - i];
}
return new String(dessending);
}
and testcase
public void testCase01() {
int actual = VerifyKaprekarTheorem(4321);
assertEquals(3, actual);
}

I have change Integer to String then char array than sorting again Integer conversion.
public int VerifyKaprekarTheorem(int m) {
if (m <= 1000 || m > 9999) {
return -1;
}
int count = 0;
while (true) {
int Max = largestNumber(m);
int Min = smallestNumber(m);
count++;
m = Max - Min;
if (m == 6174) {
break;
}
}
return count;
}
private static int largestNumber(int input) {
int[] numbers = new int[10];
for (int i = input; i != 0; i /= 10) {
numbers[i % 10]++;
}
int counter = 0;
int result = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < 10; counter += numbers[i++]) {
result += (int) ((Math.pow(10, numbers[i]) * i - 1) / 9) * Math.pow(10, counter);
}
return result;
}
private static int smallestNumber(int input) {
int[] numbers = new int[10];
for (int i = input; i != 0; i /= 10) {
numbers[i % 10]++;
}
int counter = 0;
int result = 0;
for (int i = 9; i >= 0; counter += numbers[i--]) {
result += (int) ((Math.pow(10, numbers[i]) * i - 1) / 9) * Math.pow(10, counter);
}
return result;

java - Instead sum of the number then connect the number [duplicate]

Can anyone explain to me how to reverse an integer without using array or String. I got this code from online, but not really understand why + input % 10 and divide again.
while (input != 0) {
reversedNum = reversedNum * 10 + input % 10;
input = input / 10;
}
And how to do use this sample code to reverse only odd number. Example I got this input 12345, then it will reverse the odd number to output 531.
Java reverse an int value - Principles
Modding (%) the input int by 10 will extract off the rightmost digit. example: (1234 % 10) = 4
Multiplying an integer by 10 will "push it left" exposing a zero to the right of that number, example: (5 * 10) = 50
Dividing an integer by 10 will remove the rightmost digit. (75 / 10) = 7
Java reverse an int value - Pseudocode:
a. Extract off the rightmost digit of your input number. (1234 % 10) = 4
b. Take that digit (4) and add it into a new reversedNum.
c. Multiply reversedNum by 10 (4 * 10) = 40, this exposes a zero to the right of your (4).
d. Divide the input by 10, (removing the rightmost digit). (1234 / 10) = 123
e. Repeat at step a with 123
Java reverse an int value - Working code
public int reverseInt(int input) {
long reversedNum = 0;
long input_long = input;
while (input_long != 0) {
reversedNum = reversedNum * 10 + input_long % 10;
input_long = input_long / 10;
}
if (reversedNum > Integer.MAX_VALUE || reversedNum < Integer.MIN_VALUE) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException();
}
return (int) reversedNum;
}
You will never do anything like this in the real work-world. However, the process by which you use to solve it without help is what separates people who can solve problems from the ones who want to, but can't unless they are spoon fed by nice people on the blogoblags.
I am not clear about your Odd number.
The way this code works is (it is not a Java specific algorithm)
Eg.
input =2345
first time in the while loop
rev=5 input=234
second time
rev=5*10+4=54 input=23
third time
rev=54*10+3 input=2
fourth time
rev=543*10+2 input=0
So the reversed number is 5432.
If you just want only the odd numbers in the reversed number then.
The code is:
while (input != 0) {
last_digit = input % 10;
if (last_digit % 2 != 0) {
reversedNum = reversedNum * 10 + last_digit;
}
input = input / 10;
}
Simply you can use this
public int getReverseInt(int value) {
int resultNumber = 0;
for (int i = value; i !=0; i /= 10) {
resultNumber = resultNumber * 10 + i % 10;
}
return resultNumber;
}
You can use this method with the given value which you want revers.
while (num != 0) {
rev = rev * 10 + num % 10;
num /= 10;
}
That is the solution I used for this problem, and it works fine.
More details:
num % 10
This statement will get you the last digit from the original number.
num /= 10
This statement will eliminate the last digit from the original number, and hence we are sure that while loop will terminate.
rev = rev * 10 + num % 10
Here rev*10 will shift the value by left and then add the last digit from the original.
If the original number was 1258, and in the middle of the run time we have rev = 85, num = 12 so:
num%10 = 2
rev*10 = 850
rev*10 + num%10 = 852
int aa=456;
int rev=Integer.parseInt(new StringBuilder(aa+"").reverse());
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Reverse_order_integer {
private static Scanner scan;
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("\t\t\tEnter Number which you want to reverse.\n");
scan = new Scanner(System.in);
int number = scan.nextInt();
int rev_number = reverse(number);
System.out.println("\t\t\tYour reverse Number is = \"" + rev_number
+ "\".\n");
}
private static int reverse(int number) {
int backup = number;
int count = 0;
while (number != 0) {
number = number / 10;
count++;
}
number = backup;
int sum = 0;
for (int i = count; i > 0; i--) {
int sum10 = 1;
int last = number % 10;
for (int j = 1; j < i; j++) {
sum10 = sum10 * 10;
}
sum = sum + (last * sum10);
number = number / 10;
}
return sum;
}
}
See to get the last digit of any number we divide it by 10 so we either achieve zero or a digit which is placed on last and when we do this continuously we get the whole number as an integer reversed.
int number=8989,last_num,sum=0;
while(number>0){
last_num=number%10; // this will give 8989%10=9
number/=10; // now we have 9 in last and now num/ by 10= 898
sum=sum*10+last_number; // sum=0*10+9=9;
}
// last_num=9. number= 898. sum=9
// last_num=8. number =89. sum=9*10+8= 98
// last_num=9. number=8. sum=98*10+9=989
// last_num=8. number=0. sum=989*10+8=9898
// hence completed
System.out.println("Reverse is"+sum);
public static void main(String args[]) {
int n = 0, res = 0, n1 = 0, rev = 0;
int sum = 0;
Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Please Enter No.: ");
n1 = scan.nextInt(); // String s1=String.valueOf(n1);
int len = (n1 == 0) ? 1 : (int) Math.log10(n1) + 1;
while (n1 > 0) {
rev = res * ((int) Math.pow(10, len));
res = n1 % 10;
n1 = n1 / 10;
// sum+=res; //sum=sum+res;
sum += rev;
len--;
}
// System.out.println("sum No: " + sum);
System.out.println("sum No: " + (sum + res));
}
This will return reverse of integer
Just to add on, in the hope to make the solution more complete.
The logic by #sheki already gave the correct way of reversing an integer in Java. If you assume the input you use and the result you get always fall within the range [-2147483648, 2147483647], you should be safe to use the codes by #sheki. Otherwise, it'll be a good practice to catch the exception.
Java 8 introduced the methods addExact, subtractExact, multiplyExact and toIntExact. These methods will throw ArithmeticException upon overflow. Therefore, you can use the below implementation to implement a clean and a bit safer method to reverse an integer. Generally we can use the mentioned methods to do mathematical calculation and explicitly handle overflow issue, which is always recommended if there's a possibility of overflow in the actual usage.
public int reverse(int x) {
int result = 0;
while (x != 0){
try {
result = Math.multiplyExact(result, 10);
result = Math.addExact(result, x % 10);
x /= 10;
} catch (ArithmeticException e) {
result = 0; // Exception handling
break;
}
}
return result;
}
Java solution without the loop. Faster response.
int numberToReverse;//your number
StringBuilder sb=new StringBuilder();
sb.append(numberToReverse);
sb=sb.reverse();
String intermediateString=sb.toString();
int reversedNumber=Integer.parseInt(intermediateString);
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
public class intreverse
{
public static void main(String...a)throws Exception
{
int no;
int rev = 0;
System.out.println("Enter The no to be reversed");
InputStreamReader str=new InputStreamReader(System.in);
BufferedReader br =new BufferedReader(str);
no=Integer.parseInt(br.readLine().toString());
while(no!=0)
{
rev=rev*10+no%10;
no=no/10;
}
System.out.println(rev);
}
}
public static int reverse(int x) {
boolean negetive = false;
if (x < 0) {
x = Math.abs(x);
negative = true;
}
int y = 0, i = 0;
while (x > 0) {
if (i > 0) {
y *= 10;
}
y += x % 10;
x = x / 10;
i++;
}
return negative ? -y : y;
}
Here is a complete solution(returns 0 if number is overflown):
public int reverse(int x) {
boolean flag = false;
// Helpful to check if int is within range of "int"
long num = x;
// if the number is negative then turn the flag on.
if(x < 0) {
flag = true;
num = 0 - num;
}
// used for the result.
long result = 0;
// continue dividing till number is greater than 0
while(num > 0) {
result = result*10 + num%10;
num= num/10;
}
if(flag) {
result = 0 - result;
}
if(result > Integer.MAX_VALUE || result < Integer.MIN_VALUE) {
return 0;
}
return (int) result;
}
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter number :");
int num = input.nextInt();
System.out.print("Reverse number :");
int value;
while( num > 0){
value = num % 10;
num /= 10;
System.out.print(value); //value = Reverse
}
int convert (int n)
{
long val = 0;
if(n==0)
return 0;
for(int i = 1; n > exponent(10, (i-1)); i++)
{
int mod = n%( (exponent(10, i))) ;
int index = mod / (exponent(10, i-1));
val *= 10;
val += index;
}
if (val < Integer.MIN_VALUE || val > Integer.MAX_VALUE)
{
throw new IllegalArgumentException
(val + " cannot be cast to int without changing its value.");
}
return (int) val;

if(n < 0)
return 0;
if(0 == n)

It's good that you wrote out your original code. I have another way to code this concept of reversing an integer. I'm only going to allow up to 10 digits. However, I am going to make the assumption that the user will not enter a zero.
if((inputNum <= 999999999)&&(inputNum > 0 ))
{
System.out.print("Your number reversed is: ");
do
{
endInt = inputNum % 10; //to get the last digit of the number
inputNum /= 10;
system.out.print(endInt);
}
While(inputNum != 0);
System.out.println("");
}
else
System.out.println("You used an incorrect number of integers.\n");
System.out.println("Program end");
Even if negative integer is passed then it will give the negative integer
Try This...
public int reverse(int result) {
long newNum=0,old=result;
result=(result>0) ? result:(0-result);
while(result!=0){
newNum*=10;
newNum+=result%10;
result/=10;
if(newNum>Integer.MAX_VALUE||newNum<Integer.MIN_VALUE)
return 0;
}
if(old > 0)
return (int)newNum;
else if(old < 0)
return (int)(newNum*-1);
else
return 0;
}
This is the shortest code to reverse an integer
int i=5263;
System.out.println(Integer.parseInt(new StringBuffer(String.valueOf(i) ).reverse().toString()));
123 maps to 321, which can be calculated as 3*(10^2)+2*(10^1)+1
Two functions are used to calculate (10^N). The first function calculates the value of N. The second function calculates the value for ten to power N.
Function<Integer, Integer> powerN = x -> Double.valueOf(Math.log10(x)).intValue();
Function<Integer, Integer> ten2powerN = y -> Double.valueOf(Math.pow(10, y)).intValue();
// 123 => 321= 3*10^2 + 2*10 + 1
public int reverse(int number) {
if (number < 10) {
return number;
} else {
return (number % 10) * powerN.andThen(ten2powerN).apply(number) + reverse(number / 10);
}
}
If the idea is not to use arrays or string, reversing an integer has to be done by reading the digits of a number from the end one at a time. Below explanation is provided in detail to help the novice.
pseudocode :
lets start with reversed_number = 0 and some value for original_number which needs to be reversed.
the_last_digit = original_number % 10 (i.e, the reminder after dividing by 10)
original_number = original_number/10 (since we already have the last digit, remove the last digit from the original_number)
reversed_number = reversed_number * 10 + last_digit (multiply the reversed_number with 10, so as to add the last_digit to it)
repeat steps 2 to 4, till the original_number becomes 0. When original_number = 0, reversed_number would have the reverse of the original_number.
More info on step 4: If you are provided with a digit at a time, and asked to append it at the end of a number, how would you do it - by moving the original number one place to the left so as to accommodate the new digit. If number 23 has to become 234, you multiply 23 with 10 and then add 4.
234 = 23x10 + 4;
Code:
public static int reverseInt(int original_number) {
int reversed_number = 0;
while (original_number > 0) {
int last_digit = original_number % 10;
original_number = original_number / 10;
reversed_number = reversed_number * 10 + last_digit;
}
return reversed_number;
}
It is an outdated question, but as a reference for others
First of all reversedNum must be initialized to 0;
input%10 is used to get the last digit from input
input/10 is used to get rid of the last digit from input, which you have added to the reversedNum
Let's say input was 135
135 % 10 is 5
Since reversed number was initialized to 0
now reversedNum will be 5
Then we get rid of 5 by dividing 135 by 10
Now input will be just 13
Your code loops through these steps until all digits are added to the reversed number or in other words untill input becomes 0.
while (input != 0) {
reversedNum = reversedNum * 10 + input % 10;
input = input / 10;
}
let a number be 168,
+ input % 10 returns last digit as reminder i.e. 8 but next time it should return 6,hence number must be reduced to 16 from 168, as divide 168 by 10 that results to 16 instead of 16.8 as variable input is supposed to be integer type in the above program.
If you wanna reverse any number like 1234 and you want to revers this number to let it looks like 4321. First of all, initialize 3 variables int org ; int reverse = 0; and int reminder ;
then put your logic like
Scanner input = new Scanner (System.in);
System.out.println("Enter number to reverse ");
int org = input.nextInt();
int getReminder;
int r = 0;
int count = 0;
while (org !=0){
getReminder = org%10;
r = 10 * r + getReminder;
org = org/10;
}
System.out.println(r);
}
A method to get the greatest power of ten smaller or equal to an integer: (in recursion)
public static int powerOfTen(int n) {
if ( n < 10)
return 1;
else
return 10 * powerOfTen(n/10);
}
The method to reverse the actual integer:(in recursion)
public static int reverseInteger(int i) {
if (i / 10 < 1)
return i ;
else
return i%10*powerOfTen(i) + reverseInteger(i/10);
}
You can use recursion to solve this.
first get the length of an integer number by using following recursive function.
int Length(int num,int count){
if(num==0){
return count;
}
else{
count++;
return Lenght(num/10,count);
}
}
and then you can simply multiply remainder of a number by 10^(Length of integer - 1).
int ReturnReverse(int num,int Length,int reverse){
if(Length!=0){
reverse = reverse + ((num%10) * (int)(Math.pow(10,Length-1)));
return ReturnReverse(num/10,Length-1,reverse);
}
return reverse;
}
The whole Source Code :
import java.util.Scanner;
public class ReverseNumbers {
int Length(int num, int count) {
if (num == 0) {
return count;
} else {
return Length(num / 10, count + 1);
}
}
int ReturnReverse(int num, int Length, int reverse) {
if (Length != 0) {
reverse = reverse + ((num % 10) * (int) (Math.pow(10, Length - 1)));
return ReturnReverse(num / 10, Length - 1, reverse);
}
return reverse;
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
int N = scanner.nextInt();
ReverseNumbers reverseNumbers = new ReverseNumbers();
reverseNumbers.ReturnReverse(N, reverseNumbers.Length(N, 0), reverseNumbers.ReturnReverse(N, reverseNumbers.Length(N, 0), 0));
scanner.close();
}
}
public int getReverseNumber(int number)
{
int reminder = 0, result = 0;
while (number !=0)
{
if (number >= 10 || number <= -10)
{
reminder = number % 10;
result = result + reminder;
result = result * 10;
number = number / 10;
}
else
{
result = result + number;
number /= 10;
}
}
return result;
}
// The above code will work for negative numbers also

Can this sum of squares of digits of a number puzzle's solution be optimized further?

The below code calculates a value which is obtained as sum of square of each digits in str. This sum is again calculate m times.
Example: m = 2, str="123"
At m=1 (1^2)+(2^2)+(3^2) = 1+4+9 = 14
At m=2 (1^2)+(4^2) = 1+16 = 17
So 17 should be the final answer for this input. For large inputs or when run against 1000 of test case like above, this code is giving time limit exceeded errors. Can this code further optimized?
Test case will be less than 1001
1 <= str.length(), m <= 10^9
public static void puzzle(int m,String str) {
int ans = 0;
while (m > 0) {
ans=0;
m--;
int j = 0;
while (j < str.length()) {
int val = Integer.parseInt(str.charAt(j) + "");
ans += val* val;
j++;
}
str = String.valueOf(ans);
}
System.out.println(ans);
}
I have tried my level best and could come up with above iterative solution. Could not improve even with a recursive solution.
Recursive Code:
public static int solve(int m, String n){
if(m < 1)
return Integer.parseInt(n);
int idx = 0;
int res = 0;
while(idx< n.length()){
int val = Integer.parseInt(n.charAt(idx) + "");
res += val*val;
idx++;
}
return solve(m-1,String.valueOf(res));
}
Don't do the operation using strings. Stay with integers.
Since you're just adding the square of digits, you can do it starting with the last digit, so a loop doing modulus and division by 10, until zero, will do the trick.
public static int puzzle(int m, String str) {
int value = Integer.parseInt(str);
for (int i = 0; i < m; i++) {
int sum = 0;
for (; value != 0; value /= 10) {
int digit = value % 10;
sum += digit * digit;
}
value = sum;
}
return value;
}

Check Credit Card Validity using Luhn Algorithm

I tried to check the validation of credit card using Luhn algorithm, which works as the following steps:
Double every second digit from right to left. If doubling of a digit results in a two-digit number, add up the two digits to get a single-digit number.
2 * 2 = 4
2 * 2 = 4
4 * 2 = 8
1 * 2 = 2
6 * 2 = 12 (1 + 2 = 3)
5 * 2 = 10 (1 + 0 = 1)
8 * 2 = 16 (1 + 6 = 7)
4 * 2 = 8
Now add all single-digit numbers from Step 1.
4 + 4 + 8 + 2 + 3 + 1 + 7 + 8 = 37
Add all digits in the odd places from right to left in the card number.
6 + 6 + 0 + 8 + 0 + 7 + 8 + 3 = 38
Sum the results from Step 2 and Step 3.
37 + 38 = 75
If the result from Step 4 is divisible by 10, the card number is valid; otherwise, it is invalid. For example, the number 4388576018402626 is invalid, but the number 4388576018410707 is valid.
Simply, my program always displays valid for everything that I input. Even if it's a valid number and the result of sumOfOddPlace and sumOfDoubleEvenPlace methods are equal to zero. Any help is appreciated.

public class CreditCardValidation {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
int count = 0;
long array[] = new long [16];
do
{
count = 0;
array = new long [16];
System.out.print("Enter your Credit Card Number : ");
long number = in.nextLong();
for (int i = 0; number != 0; i++) {
array[i] = number % 10;
number = number / 10;
count++;
}
}
while(count < 13);
if ((array[count - 1] == 4) || (array[count - 1] == 5) || (array[count - 1] == 3 && array[count - 2] == 7)){
if (isValid(array) == true) {
System.out.println("\n The Credit Card Number is Valid. ");
} else {
System.out.println("\n The Credit Card Number is Invalid. ");
}
} else{
System.out.println("\n The Credit Card Number is Invalid. ");
}
}
public static boolean isValid(long[] array) {
int total = sumOfDoubleEvenPlace(array) + sumOfOddPlace(array);
if ((total % 10 == 0)) {
for (int i=0; i< array.length; i++){
System.out.println(array[i]);}
return true;
} else {
for (int i=0; i< array.length; i++){
System.out.println(array[i]);}
return false;
}
}
public static int getDigit(int number) {
if (number <= 9) {
return number;
} else {
int firstDigit = number % 10;
int secondDigit = (int) (number / 10);
return firstDigit + secondDigit;
}
}
public static int sumOfOddPlace(long[] array) {
int result = 0;
for (int i=0; i< array.length; i++)
{
while (array[i] > 0) {
result += (int) (array[i] % 10);
array[i] = array[i] / 100;
}}
System.out.println("\n The sum of odd place is " + result);
return result;
}
public static int sumOfDoubleEvenPlace(long[] array) {
int result = 0;
long temp = 0;
for (int i=0; i< array.length; i++){
while (array[i] > 0) {

result += getDigit((int) (temp / 10) * 2);
array[i] = array[i] / 100;
}
}

You can freely import the following code:
public class Luhn
{
public static boolean Check(String ccNumber)
{
int sum = 0;
boolean alternate = false;
for (int i = ccNumber.length() - 1; i >= 0; i--)
{
int n = Integer.parseInt(ccNumber.substring(i, i + 1));
if (alternate)
{
n *= 2;
if (n > 9)
{
n = (n % 10) + 1;
}
}
sum += n;
alternate = !alternate;
}
return (sum % 10 == 0);
}
}

Google and Wikipedia are your friends. Instead of long-array I would use int-array. On Wikipedia following java code is published (together with detailed explanation of Luhn algorithm):
public static boolean check(int[] digits) {
int sum = 0;
int length = digits.length;
for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) {
// get digits in reverse order
int digit = digits[length - i - 1];
// every 2nd number multiply with 2
if (i % 2 == 1) {
digit *= 2;
}
sum += digit > 9 ? digit - 9 : digit;
}
return sum % 10 == 0;
}
You should work on your input processing code. I suggest you to study following solution:
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
boolean repeat;
List<Integer> digits = new ArrayList<Integer>();
do {
repeat = false;
System.out.print("Enter your Credit Card Number : ");
String input = in.next();
for (int i = 0; i < input.length(); i++) {
char c = input.charAt(i);
if (c < '0' || c > '9') {
repeat = true;
digits.clear();
break;
} else {
digits.add(Integer.valueOf(c - '0'));
}
}
} while (repeat);
int[] array = new int[digits.size()];
for (int i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {
array[i] = Integer.valueOf(digits.get(i));
}
boolean valid = check(array);
System.out.println("Valid: " + valid);
}
I took a stab at this with Java 8:
public static boolean luhn(String cc) {
final boolean[] dbl = {false};
return cc
.chars()
.map(c -> Character.digit((char) c, 10))
.map(i -> ((dbl[0] = !dbl[0])) ? (((i*2)>9) ? (i*2)-9 : i*2) : i)
.sum() % 10 == 0;
}
Add the line
.replaceAll("\\s+", "")
Before
.chars()
If you want to handle whitespace.
Seems to produce identical results to
return LuhnCheckDigit.LUHN_CHECK_DIGIT.isValid(cc);
From Apache's commons-validator.
There are two ways to split up your int into List<Integer>
Use %10 as you are using and store it into a List
Convert to a String and then take the numeric values
Here are a couple of quick examples
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
final int num = 12345;
final List<Integer> nums1 = splitInt(num);
final List<Integer> nums2 = splitString(num);
System.out.println(nums1);
System.out.println(nums2);
}
private static List<Integer> splitInt(int num) {
final List<Integer> ints = new ArrayList<>();
while (num > 0) {
ints.add(0, num % 10);
num /= 10;
}
return ints;
}
private static List<Integer> splitString(int num) {
final List<Integer> ints = new ArrayList<>();
for (final char c : Integer.toString(num).toCharArray()) {
ints.add(Character.getNumericValue(c));
}
return ints;
}
I'll use 5 digit card numbers for simplicity. Let's say your card number is 12345; if I read the code correctly, you store in array the individual digits:
array[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
Since you already have the digits, in sumOfOddPlace you should do something like
public static int sumOfOddPlace(long[] array) {
int result = 0;
for (int i = 1; i < array.length; i += 2) {
result += array[i];
}
return result;
}
And in sumOfDoubleEvenPlace:
public static int sumOfDoubleEvenPlace(long[] array) {
int result = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < array.length; i += 2) {
result += getDigit(2 * array[i]);
}
return result;
}
this is the luhn algorithm implementation which I use for only 16 digit Credit Card Number
if(ccnum.length()==16){
char[] c = ccnum.toCharArray();
int[] cint = new int[16];
for(int i=0;i<16;i++){
if(i%2==1){
cint[i] = Integer.parseInt(String.valueOf(c[i]))*2;
if(cint[i] >9)
cint[i]=1+cint[i]%10;
}
else
cint[i] = Integer.parseInt(String.valueOf(c[i]));
}
int sum=0;
for(int i=0;i<16;i++){
sum+=cint[i];
}
if(sum%10==0)
result.setText("Card is Valid");
else
result.setText("Card is Invalid");
}else
result.setText("Card is Invalid");
If you want to make it use on any number replace all 16 with your input number length.
It will work for Visa number given in the question.(I tested it)
Here's my implementation of the Luhn Formula.
/**
* Runs the Luhn Equation on a user inputed CCN, which in turn
* determines if it is a valid card number.
* #param c A user inputed CCN.
* #param cn The check number for the card.
* #return If the card is valid based on the Luhn Equation.
*/
public boolean luhn (String c, char cn)
{
String card = c;
String checkString = "" + cn;
int check = Integer.valueOf(checkString);
//Drop the last digit.
card = card.substring(0, ( card.length() - 1 ) );
//Reverse the digits.
String cardrev = new StringBuilder(card).reverse().toString();
//Store it in an int array.
char[] cardArray = cardrev.toCharArray();
int[] cardWorking = new int[cardArray.length];
int addedNumbers = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < cardArray.length; i++)
{
cardWorking[i] = Character.getNumericValue( cardArray[i] );
}
//Double odd positioned digits (which are really even in our case, since index starts at 0).
for (int j = 0; j < cardWorking.length; j++)
{
if ( (j % 2) == 0)
{
cardWorking[j] = cardWorking[j] * 2;
}
}
//Subtract 9 from digits larger than 9.
for (int k = 0; k < cardWorking.length; k++)
{
if (cardWorking[k] > 9)
{
cardWorking[k] = cardWorking[k] - 9;
}
}
//Add all the numbers together.
for (int l = 0; l < cardWorking.length; l++)
{
addedNumbers += cardWorking[l];
}
//Finally, check if the number we got from adding all the other numbers
//when divided by ten has a remainder equal to the check number.
if (addedNumbers % 10 == check)
{
return true;
}
else
{
return false;
}
}
I pass in the card as c which I get from a Scanner and store in card, and for cn I pass in checkNumber = card.charAt( (card.length() - 1) );.
Okay, this can be solved with a type conversions to string and some Java 8
stuff. Don't forget numbers and the characters representing numbers are not the same. '1' != 1
public static int[] longToIntArray(long cardNumber){
return Long.toString(cardNumber).chars()
.map(x -> x - '0') //converts char to int
.toArray(); //converts to int array
}
You can now use this method to perform the luhn algorithm:
public static int luhnCardValidator(int cardNumbers[]) {
int sum = 0, nxtDigit;
for (int i = 0; i<cardNumbers.length; i++) {
if (i % 2 == 0)
nxtDigit = (nxtDigit > 4) ? (nxtDigit * 2 - 10) + 1 : nxtDigit * 2;
sum += nxtDigit;
}
return (sum % 10);
}
private static int luhnAlgorithm(String number){
int n=0;
for(int i = 0; i<number.length(); i++){
int x = Integer.parseInt(""+number.charAt(i));
n += (x*Math.pow(2, i%2))%10;
if (x>=5 && i%2==1) n++;
}
return n%10;
}
public class Creditcard {
public static void main(String args[]){
Scanner sc=new Scanner(System.in);
String cardno = sc.nextLine();
if(checkType(cardno).equals("U")) //checking for unknown type
System.out.println("UNKNOWN");
else
checkValid(cardno); //validation
}
private static String checkType(String S)
{
int AM=Integer.parseInt(S.substring(0,2));
int D=Integer.parseInt(S.substring(0,4)),d=0;
for(int i=S.length()-1;i>=0;i--)
{
if(S.charAt(i)==' ')
continue;
else
d++;
}
if((AM==34 || AM==37) && d==15)
System.out.println("AMEX");
else if(D==6011 && d==16)
System.out.println("Discover");
else if(AM>=51 && AM<=55 && d==16)
System.out.println("MasterCard");
else if(((S.charAt(0)-'0')==4)&&(d==13 || d==16))
System.out.println("Visa");
else
return "U";
return "";
}
private static void checkValid(String S) // S--> cardno
{
int i,d=0,sum=0,card[]=new int[S.length()];
for(i=S.length()-1;i>=0;i--)
{
if(S.charAt(i)==' ')
continue;
else
card[d++]=S.charAt(i)-'0';
}
for(i=0;i<d;i++)
{
if(i%2!=0)
{
card[i]=card[i]*2;
if(card[i]>9)
sum+=digSum(card[i]);
else
sum+=card[i];
}
else
sum+=card[i];
}

System.out.println("Valid");
else
System.out.println("Invalid");
}
public static int digSum(int n)
{
int sum=0;
while(n>0)
{
sum+=n%10;
n/=10;
}
return sum;
}
}
Here is the implementation of Luhn algorithm.
public class LuhnAlgorithm {
/**

private static boolean checkLuhn(String cardNum) {

Java reverse an int value without using array

Can anyone explain to me how to reverse an integer without using array or String. I got this code from online, but not really understand why + input % 10 and divide again.
while (input != 0) {
reversedNum = reversedNum * 10 + input % 10;
input = input / 10;
}
And how to do use this sample code to reverse only odd number. Example I got this input 12345, then it will reverse the odd number to output 531.
Java reverse an int value - Principles
Modding (%) the input int by 10 will extract off the rightmost digit. example: (1234 % 10) = 4
Multiplying an integer by 10 will "push it left" exposing a zero to the right of that number, example: (5 * 10) = 50
Dividing an integer by 10 will remove the rightmost digit. (75 / 10) = 7
Java reverse an int value - Pseudocode:
a. Extract off the rightmost digit of your input number. (1234 % 10) = 4
b. Take that digit (4) and add it into a new reversedNum.
c. Multiply reversedNum by 10 (4 * 10) = 40, this exposes a zero to the right of your (4).
d. Divide the input by 10, (removing the rightmost digit). (1234 / 10) = 123
e. Repeat at step a with 123
Java reverse an int value - Working code
public int reverseInt(int input) {
long reversedNum = 0;
long input_long = input;
while (input_long != 0) {
reversedNum = reversedNum * 10 + input_long % 10;
input_long = input_long / 10;
}
if (reversedNum > Integer.MAX_VALUE || reversedNum < Integer.MIN_VALUE) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException();
}
return (int) reversedNum;
}
You will never do anything like this in the real work-world. However, the process by which you use to solve it without help is what separates people who can solve problems from the ones who want to, but can't unless they are spoon fed by nice people on the blogoblags.
I am not clear about your Odd number.
The way this code works is (it is not a Java specific algorithm)
Eg.
input =2345
first time in the while loop
rev=5 input=234
second time
rev=5*10+4=54 input=23
third time
rev=54*10+3 input=2
fourth time
rev=543*10+2 input=0
So the reversed number is 5432.
If you just want only the odd numbers in the reversed number then.
The code is:
while (input != 0) {
last_digit = input % 10;
if (last_digit % 2 != 0) {
reversedNum = reversedNum * 10 + last_digit;
}
input = input / 10;
}
Simply you can use this
public int getReverseInt(int value) {
int resultNumber = 0;
for (int i = value; i !=0; i /= 10) {
resultNumber = resultNumber * 10 + i % 10;
}
return resultNumber;
}
You can use this method with the given value which you want revers.
while (num != 0) {
rev = rev * 10 + num % 10;
num /= 10;
}
That is the solution I used for this problem, and it works fine.
More details:
num % 10
This statement will get you the last digit from the original number.
num /= 10
This statement will eliminate the last digit from the original number, and hence we are sure that while loop will terminate.
rev = rev * 10 + num % 10
Here rev*10 will shift the value by left and then add the last digit from the original.
If the original number was 1258, and in the middle of the run time we have rev = 85, num = 12 so:
num%10 = 2
rev*10 = 850
rev*10 + num%10 = 852
int aa=456;
int rev=Integer.parseInt(new StringBuilder(aa+"").reverse());
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Reverse_order_integer {
private static Scanner scan;
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("\t\t\tEnter Number which you want to reverse.\n");
scan = new Scanner(System.in);
int number = scan.nextInt();
int rev_number = reverse(number);
System.out.println("\t\t\tYour reverse Number is = \"" + rev_number
+ "\".\n");
}
private static int reverse(int number) {
int backup = number;
int count = 0;
while (number != 0) {
number = number / 10;
count++;
}
number = backup;
int sum = 0;
for (int i = count; i > 0; i--) {
int sum10 = 1;
int last = number % 10;
for (int j = 1; j < i; j++) {
sum10 = sum10 * 10;
}
sum = sum + (last * sum10);
number = number / 10;
}
return sum;
}
}
See to get the last digit of any number we divide it by 10 so we either achieve zero or a digit which is placed on last and when we do this continuously we get the whole number as an integer reversed.
int number=8989,last_num,sum=0;
while(number>0){
last_num=number%10; // this will give 8989%10=9
number/=10; // now we have 9 in last and now num/ by 10= 898
sum=sum*10+last_number; // sum=0*10+9=9;
}
// last_num=9. number= 898. sum=9
// last_num=8. number =89. sum=9*10+8= 98
// last_num=9. number=8. sum=98*10+9=989
// last_num=8. number=0. sum=989*10+8=9898
// hence completed
System.out.println("Reverse is"+sum);
public static void main(String args[]) {
int n = 0, res = 0, n1 = 0, rev = 0;
int sum = 0;
Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Please Enter No.: ");
n1 = scan.nextInt(); // String s1=String.valueOf(n1);
int len = (n1 == 0) ? 1 : (int) Math.log10(n1) + 1;
while (n1 > 0) {
rev = res * ((int) Math.pow(10, len));
res = n1 % 10;
n1 = n1 / 10;
// sum+=res; //sum=sum+res;
sum += rev;
len--;
}
// System.out.println("sum No: " + sum);
System.out.println("sum No: " + (sum + res));
}
This will return reverse of integer
Just to add on, in the hope to make the solution more complete.
The logic by #sheki already gave the correct way of reversing an integer in Java. If you assume the input you use and the result you get always fall within the range [-2147483648, 2147483647], you should be safe to use the codes by #sheki. Otherwise, it'll be a good practice to catch the exception.
Java 8 introduced the methods addExact, subtractExact, multiplyExact and toIntExact. These methods will throw ArithmeticException upon overflow. Therefore, you can use the below implementation to implement a clean and a bit safer method to reverse an integer. Generally we can use the mentioned methods to do mathematical calculation and explicitly handle overflow issue, which is always recommended if there's a possibility of overflow in the actual usage.
public int reverse(int x) {
int result = 0;
while (x != 0){
try {
result = Math.multiplyExact(result, 10);
result = Math.addExact(result, x % 10);
x /= 10;
} catch (ArithmeticException e) {
result = 0; // Exception handling
break;
}
}
return result;
}
Java solution without the loop. Faster response.
int numberToReverse;//your number
StringBuilder sb=new StringBuilder();
sb.append(numberToReverse);
sb=sb.reverse();
String intermediateString=sb.toString();
int reversedNumber=Integer.parseInt(intermediateString);
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
public class intreverse
{
public static void main(String...a)throws Exception
{
int no;
int rev = 0;
System.out.println("Enter The no to be reversed");
InputStreamReader str=new InputStreamReader(System.in);
BufferedReader br =new BufferedReader(str);
no=Integer.parseInt(br.readLine().toString());
while(no!=0)
{
rev=rev*10+no%10;
no=no/10;
}
System.out.println(rev);
}
}
public static int reverse(int x) {
boolean negetive = false;
if (x < 0) {
x = Math.abs(x);
negative = true;
}
int y = 0, i = 0;
while (x > 0) {
if (i > 0) {
y *= 10;
}
y += x % 10;
x = x / 10;
i++;
}
return negative ? -y : y;
}
Here is a complete solution(returns 0 if number is overflown):
public int reverse(int x) {
boolean flag = false;
// Helpful to check if int is within range of "int"
long num = x;
// if the number is negative then turn the flag on.
if(x < 0) {
flag = true;
num = 0 - num;
}
// used for the result.
long result = 0;
// continue dividing till number is greater than 0
while(num > 0) {
result = result*10 + num%10;
num= num/10;
}
if(flag) {
result = 0 - result;
}
if(result > Integer.MAX_VALUE || result < Integer.MIN_VALUE) {
return 0;
}
return (int) result;
}
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter number :");
int num = input.nextInt();
System.out.print("Reverse number :");
int value;
while( num > 0){
value = num % 10;
num /= 10;
System.out.print(value); //value = Reverse
}
int convert (int n)
{
long val = 0;
if(n==0)
return 0;
for(int i = 1; n > exponent(10, (i-1)); i++)
{
int mod = n%( (exponent(10, i))) ;
int index = mod / (exponent(10, i-1));
val *= 10;
val += index;
}
if (val < Integer.MIN_VALUE || val > Integer.MAX_VALUE)
{
throw new IllegalArgumentException
(val + " cannot be cast to int without changing its value.");
}
return (int) val;
}
static int exponent(int m, int n)
{
if(n < 0)
return 0;
if(0 == n)
return 1;
return (m * exponent(m, n-1));
}
It's good that you wrote out your original code. I have another way to code this concept of reversing an integer. I'm only going to allow up to 10 digits. However, I am going to make the assumption that the user will not enter a zero.
if((inputNum <= 999999999)&&(inputNum > 0 ))
{
System.out.print("Your number reversed is: ");
do
{
endInt = inputNum % 10; //to get the last digit of the number
inputNum /= 10;
system.out.print(endInt);
}
While(inputNum != 0);
System.out.println("");
}
else
System.out.println("You used an incorrect number of integers.\n");
System.out.println("Program end");
Even if negative integer is passed then it will give the negative integer
Try This...
public int reverse(int result) {
long newNum=0,old=result;
result=(result>0) ? result:(0-result);
while(result!=0){
newNum*=10;
newNum+=result%10;
result/=10;
if(newNum>Integer.MAX_VALUE||newNum<Integer.MIN_VALUE)
return 0;
}
if(old > 0)
return (int)newNum;
else if(old < 0)
return (int)(newNum*-1);
else
return 0;
}
This is the shortest code to reverse an integer
int i=5263;
System.out.println(Integer.parseInt(new StringBuffer(String.valueOf(i) ).reverse().toString()));
123 maps to 321, which can be calculated as 3*(10^2)+2*(10^1)+1
Two functions are used to calculate (10^N). The first function calculates the value of N. The second function calculates the value for ten to power N.
Function<Integer, Integer> powerN = x -> Double.valueOf(Math.log10(x)).intValue();
Function<Integer, Integer> ten2powerN = y -> Double.valueOf(Math.pow(10, y)).intValue();
// 123 => 321= 3*10^2 + 2*10 + 1
public int reverse(int number) {
if (number < 10) {
return number;
} else {
return (number % 10) * powerN.andThen(ten2powerN).apply(number) + reverse(number / 10);
}
}
If the idea is not to use arrays or string, reversing an integer has to be done by reading the digits of a number from the end one at a time. Below explanation is provided in detail to help the novice.
pseudocode :
lets start with reversed_number = 0 and some value for original_number which needs to be reversed.
the_last_digit = original_number % 10 (i.e, the reminder after dividing by 10)
original_number = original_number/10 (since we already have the last digit, remove the last digit from the original_number)
reversed_number = reversed_number * 10 + last_digit (multiply the reversed_number with 10, so as to add the last_digit to it)
repeat steps 2 to 4, till the original_number becomes 0. When original_number = 0, reversed_number would have the reverse of the original_number.
More info on step 4: If you are provided with a digit at a time, and asked to append it at the end of a number, how would you do it - by moving the original number one place to the left so as to accommodate the new digit. If number 23 has to become 234, you multiply 23 with 10 and then add 4.
234 = 23x10 + 4;
Code:
public static int reverseInt(int original_number) {
int reversed_number = 0;
while (original_number > 0) {
int last_digit = original_number % 10;
original_number = original_number / 10;
reversed_number = reversed_number * 10 + last_digit;
}
return reversed_number;
}
It is an outdated question, but as a reference for others
First of all reversedNum must be initialized to 0;
input%10 is used to get the last digit from input
input/10 is used to get rid of the last digit from input, which you have added to the reversedNum
Let's say input was 135
135 % 10 is 5
Since reversed number was initialized to 0
now reversedNum will be 5
Then we get rid of 5 by dividing 135 by 10
Now input will be just 13
Your code loops through these steps until all digits are added to the reversed number or in other words untill input becomes 0.
while (input != 0) {
reversedNum = reversedNum * 10 + input % 10;
input = input / 10;
}
let a number be 168,
+ input % 10 returns last digit as reminder i.e. 8 but next time it should return 6,hence number must be reduced to 16 from 168, as divide 168 by 10 that results to 16 instead of 16.8 as variable input is supposed to be integer type in the above program.
If you wanna reverse any number like 1234 and you want to revers this number to let it looks like 4321. First of all, initialize 3 variables int org ; int reverse = 0; and int reminder ;
then put your logic like
Scanner input = new Scanner (System.in);
System.out.println("Enter number to reverse ");
int org = input.nextInt();
int getReminder;
int r = 0;
int count = 0;
while (org !=0){
getReminder = org%10;
r = 10 * r + getReminder;
org = org/10;
}
System.out.println(r);
}
A method to get the greatest power of ten smaller or equal to an integer: (in recursion)
public static int powerOfTen(int n) {
if ( n < 10)
return 1;
else
return 10 * powerOfTen(n/10);
}
The method to reverse the actual integer:(in recursion)
public static int reverseInteger(int i) {
if (i / 10 < 1)
return i ;
else
return i%10*powerOfTen(i) + reverseInteger(i/10);
}
You can use recursion to solve this.
first get the length of an integer number by using following recursive function.
int Length(int num,int count){
if(num==0){
return count;
}
else{
count++;
return Lenght(num/10,count);
}
}
and then you can simply multiply remainder of a number by 10^(Length of integer - 1).
int ReturnReverse(int num,int Length,int reverse){
if(Length!=0){
reverse = reverse + ((num%10) * (int)(Math.pow(10,Length-1)));
return ReturnReverse(num/10,Length-1,reverse);
}
return reverse;
}
The whole Source Code :
import java.util.Scanner;
public class ReverseNumbers {
int Length(int num, int count) {
if (num == 0) {
return count;
} else {
return Length(num / 10, count + 1);
}
}
int ReturnReverse(int num, int Length, int reverse) {
if (Length != 0) {
reverse = reverse + ((num % 10) * (int) (Math.pow(10, Length - 1)));
return ReturnReverse(num / 10, Length - 1, reverse);
}
return reverse;
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
int N = scanner.nextInt();
ReverseNumbers reverseNumbers = new ReverseNumbers();
reverseNumbers.ReturnReverse(N, reverseNumbers.Length(N, 0), reverseNumbers.ReturnReverse(N, reverseNumbers.Length(N, 0), 0));
scanner.close();
}
}
public int getReverseNumber(int number)
{
int reminder = 0, result = 0;
while (number !=0)
{
if (number >= 10 || number <= -10)
{
reminder = number % 10;
result = result + reminder;
result = result * 10;
number = number / 10;
}
else
{
result = result + number;
number /= 10;
}
}
return result;
}
// The above code will work for negative numbers also
Reversing integer
int n, reverse = 0;
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
n = in.nextInt();
while(n != 0)
{
reverse = reverse * 10;
reverse = reverse + n%10;
n = n/10;
}
System.out.println("Reverse of the number is " + reverse);
public static int reverseInt(int i) {
int reservedInt = 0;
try{
String s = String.valueOf(i);
String reversed = reverseWithStringBuilder(s);
reservedInt = Integer.parseInt(reversed);
}catch (NumberFormatException e){
System.out.println("exception caught was " + e.getMessage());
}
return reservedInt;
}
public static String reverseWithStringBuilder(String str) {
System.out.println(str);
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(str);
StringBuilder reversed = sb.reverse();
return reversed.toString();
}
public static int reverse(int x) {
int tmp = x;
int oct = 0;
int res = 0;
while (true) {
oct = tmp % 10;
tmp = tmp / 10;
res = (res+oct)*10;
if ((tmp/10) == 0) {
res = res+tmp;
return res;
}
}
}
public static double reverse(int num)
{
double num1 = num;
double ret = 0;
double counter = 0;
while (num1 > 1)
{
counter++;
num1 = num1/10;
}
while(counter >= 0)
{
int lastdigit = num%10;
ret += Math.pow(10, counter-1) * lastdigit;

}
return ret;
}

Way to get number of digits in an int?

Is there a neater way for getting the number of digits in an int than this method?
int numDigits = String.valueOf(1000).length();
Your String-based solution is perfectly OK, there is nothing "un-neat" about it. You have to realize that mathematically, numbers don't have a length, nor do they have digits. Length and digits are both properties of a physical representation of a number in a specific base, i.e. a String.
A logarithm-based solution does (some of) the same things the String-based one does internally, and probably does so (insignificantly) faster because it only produces the length and ignores the digits. But I wouldn't actually consider it clearer in intent - and that's the most important factor.
The logarithm is your friend:
int n = 1000;
int length = (int)(Math.log10(n)+1);
NB: only valid for n > 0.
The fastest approach: divide and conquer.
Assuming your range is 0 to MAX_INT, then you have 1 to 10 digits. You can approach this interval using divide and conquer, with up to 4 comparisons per each input. First, you divide [1..10] into [1..5] and [6..10] with one comparison, and then each length 5 interval you divide using one comparison into one length 3 and one length 2 interval. The length 2 interval requires one more comparison (total 3 comparisons), the length 3 interval can be divided into length 1 interval (solution) and a length 2 interval. So, you need 3 or 4 comparisons.
No divisions, no floating point operations, no expensive logarithms, only integer comparisons.
Code (long but fast):
if (n < 100000) {
// 5 or less
if (n < 100){
// 1 or 2
if (n < 10)
return 1;
else
return 2;
} else {
// 3 or 4 or 5
if (n < 1000)
return 3;
else {
// 4 or 5
if (n < 10000)
return 4;
else
return 5;
}
}
} else {
// 6 or more
if (n < 10000000) {
// 6 or 7
if (n < 1000000)
return 6;
else
return 7;
} else {
// 8 to 10
if (n < 100000000)
return 8;
else {
// 9 or 10
if (n < 1000000000)
return 9;
else
return 10;
}
}
}

divide-and-conquer: 74ms = 28.99 times as fast as baseline
Edit
After I wrote the benchmark, I took a sneak peak into Integer.toString from Java 6, and I found that it uses:
final static int [] sizeTable = { 9, 99, 999, 9999, 99999, 999999, 9999999,
99999999, 999999999, Integer.MAX_VALUE };
// Requires positive x
static int stringSize(int x) {
for (int i=0; ; i++)
if (x <= sizeTable[i])
return i+1;
}
I benchmarked it against my divide-and-conquer solution:
divide-and-conquer: 104ms
Java 6 solution - iterate and compare: 406ms
Mine is about 4x as fast as the Java 6 solution.
Two comments on your benchmark: Java is a complex environment, what with just-in-time compiling and garbage collection and so forth, so to get a fair comparison, whenever I run a benchmark, I always: (a) enclose the two tests in a loop that runs them in sequence 5 or 10 times. Quite often the runtime on the second pass through the loop is quite different from the first. And (b) After each "approach", I do a System.gc() to try to trigger a garbage collection. Otherwise, the first approach might generate a bunch of objects, but not quite enough to force a garbage collection, then the second approach creates a few objects, the heap is exhausted, and garbage collection runs. Then the second approach is "charged" for picking up the garbage left by the first approach. Very unfair!
That said, neither of the above made a significant difference in this example.
With or without those modifications, I got very different results than you did. When I ran this, yes, the toString approach gave run times of 6400 to 6600 millis, while the log approach topok 20,000 to 20,400 millis. Instead of being slightly faster, the log approach was 3 times slower for me.
Note that the two approaches involve very different costs, so this isn't totally shocking: The toString approach will create a lot of temporary objects that have to be cleaned up, while the log approach takes more intense computation. So maybe the difference is that on a machine with less memory, toString requires more garbage collection rounds, while on a machine with a slower processor, the extra computation of log would be more painful.
I also tried a third approach. I wrote this little function:
static int numlength(int n)
{
if (n == 0) return 1;
int l;
n=Math.abs(n);
for (l=0;n>0;++l)
n/=10;
return l;
}
That ran in 1600 to 1900 millis -- less than 1/3 of the toString approach, and 1/10 the log approach on my machine.
If you had a broad range of numbers, you could speed it up further by starting out dividing by 1,000 or 1,000,000 to reduce the number of times through the loop. I haven't played with that.
Can't leave a comment yet, so I'll post as a separate answer.
The logarithm-based solution doesn't calculate the correct number of digits for very big long integers, for example:
long n = 99999999999999999L;
// correct answer: 17
int numberOfDigits = String.valueOf(n).length();
// incorrect answer: 18
int wrongNumberOfDigits = (int) (Math.log10(n) + 1);
Logarithm-based solution calculates incorrect number of digits in large integers
Using Java
int nDigits = Math.floor(Math.log10(Math.abs(the_integer))) + 1;
use import java.lang.Math.*; in the beginning
Using C
int nDigits = floor(log10(abs(the_integer))) + 1;
use inclue math.h in the beginning
Since the number of digits in base 10 of an integer is just 1 + truncate(log10(number)), you can do:
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
final int number = 1234;
final int digits = 1 + (int)Math.floor(Math.log10(number));
System.out.println(digits);
}
}
Edited because my last edit fixed the code example, but not the description.
Another string approach. Short and sweet - for any integer n.
int length = ("" + n).length();
Marian's solution adapted for long type numbers (up to 9,223,372,036,854,775,807), in case someone want's to Copy&Paste it.
In the program I wrote this for numbers up to 10000 were much more probable, so I made a specific branch for them. Anyway it won't make a significative difference.
public static int numberOfDigits (long n) {
// Guessing 4 digit numbers will be more probable.
// They are set in the first branch.
if (n < 10000L) { // from 1 to 4
if (n < 100L) { // 1 or 2
if (n < 10L) {
return 1;
} else {
return 2;
}
} else { // 3 or 4
if (n < 1000L) {
return 3;
} else {
return 4;
}
}
} else { // from 5 a 20 (albeit longs can't have more than 18 or 19)
if (n < 1000000000000L) { // from 5 to 12
if (n < 100000000L) { // from 5 to 8
if (n < 1000000L) { // 5 or 6
if (n < 100000L) {
return 5;
} else {
return 6;
}
} else { // 7 u 8
if (n < 10000000L) {
return 7;
} else {
return 8;
}
}
} else { // from 9 to 12
if (n < 10000000000L) { // 9 or 10
if (n < 1000000000L) {
return 9;
} else {
return 10;
}
} else { // 11 or 12
if (n < 100000000000L) {
return 11;
} else {
return 12;
}
}
}
} else { // from 13 to ... (18 or 20)
if (n < 10000000000000000L) { // from 13 to 16
if (n < 100000000000000L) { // 13 or 14
if (n < 10000000000000L) {
return 13;
} else {
return 14;
}
} else { // 15 or 16
if (n < 1000000000000000L) {
return 15;
} else {
return 16;
}
}
} else { // from 17 to ...¿20?
if (n < 1000000000000000000L) { // 17 or 18
if (n < 100000000000000000L) {
return 17;
} else {
return 18;
}
} else { // 19? Can it be?
// 10000000000000000000L is'nt a valid long.
return 19;
}
}
}
}
}
How about plain old Mathematics? Divide by 10 until you reach 0.
public static int getSize(long number) {
int count = 0;
while (number > 0) {
count += 1;
number = (number / 10);
}
return count;
}
I see people using String libraries or even using the Integer class. Nothing wrong with that but the algorithm for getting the number of digits is not that complicated. I am using a long in this example but it works just as fine with an int.
private static int getLength(long num) {
int count = 1;
while (num >= 10) {
num = num / 10;
count++;
}
return count;
}
Can I try? ;)
based on Dirk's solution
final int digits = number==0?1:(1 + (int)Math.floor(Math.log10(Math.abs(number))));
Marian's Solution, now with Ternary:
public int len(int n){
return (n<100000)?((n<100)?((n<10)?1:2):(n<1000)?3:((n<10000)?4:5)):((n<10000000)?((n<1000000)?6:7):((n<100000000)?8:((n<1000000000)?9:10)));
}
Because we can.
no String API, no utils, no type conversion, just pure java iteration ->
public static int getNumberOfDigits(int input) {
int numOfDigits = 1;
int base = 1;
while (input >= base * 10) {
base = base * 10;
numOfDigits++;
}
return numOfDigits;
}
You can go long for bigger values if you please.

int b= 1 + (int)Math.floor(Math.log10(number));
assertEquals(a,b);
int i=0;
int s=0;
long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
for(i=0, s=0; i< 100000000; i++){
a= String.valueOf(number).length();
s+=a;
}
long stopTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
long runTime = stopTime - startTime;
System.out.println("Run time 1: " + runTime);
System.out.println("s: "+s);
startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
for(i=0,s=0; i< 100000000; i++){
b= number==0?1:(1 + (int)Math.floor(Math.log10(Math.abs(number))));
s+=b;
}
stopTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
runTime = stopTime - startTime;
System.out.println("Run time 2: " + runTime);
System.out.println("s: "+s);
assertEquals(a,b);
}
}
the results are :
Run time 1: 6765
s: 400000000
Run time 2: 6000
s: 400000000
Now I am left to wonder if my benchmark actually means something but I do get consistent results (variations within a ms) over multiple runs of the benchmark itself ... :) It looks like it's useless to try and optimize this...
edit: following ptomli's comment, I replaced 'number' by 'i' in the code above and got the following results over 5 runs of the bench :
Run time 1: 11500
s: 788888890
Run time 2: 8547
s: 788888890
Run time 1: 11485

With design (based on problem). This is an alternate of divide-and-conquer. We'll first define an enum (considering it's only for an unsigned int).
public enum IntegerLength {
One((byte)1,10),
Two((byte)2,100),
Three((byte)3,1000),
Four((byte)4,10000),
Five((byte)5,100000),
Six((byte)6,1000000),
Seven((byte)7,10000000),
Eight((byte)8,100000000),
Nine((byte)9,1000000000);
byte length;
int value;
IntegerLength(byte len,int value) {
this.length = len;
this.value = value;
}
public byte getLenght() {
return length;
}
public int getValue() {
return value;
}
}
Now we'll define a class that goes through the values of the enum and compare and return the appropriate length.
public class IntegerLenght {
public static byte calculateIntLenght(int num) {
for(IntegerLength v : IntegerLength.values()) {
if(num < v.getValue()){
return v.getLenght();
}
}
return 0;
}
}
The run time of this solution is the same as the divide-and-conquer approach.
What about this recursive method?
private static int length = 0;
public static int length(int n) {
length++;
if((n / 10) < 10) {
length++;
} else {
length(n / 10);
}
return length;
}
simple solution:
public class long_length {
long x,l=1,n;
for (n=10;n<x;n*=10){
if (x/n!=0){
l++;
}
}
System.out.print(l);
}
A really simple solution:
public int numLength(int n) {
for (int length = 1; n % Math.pow(10, length) != n; length++) {}
return length;
}
Or instead the length you can check if the number is larger or smaller then the desired number.
public void createCard(int cardNumber, int cardStatus, int customerId) throws SQLException {
if(cardDao.checkIfCardExists(cardNumber) == false) {
if(cardDao.createCard(cardNumber, cardStatus, customerId) == true) {
System.out.println("Card created successfully");
} else {
}
} else {
System.out.println("Card already exists, try with another Card Number");
do {
System.out.println("Enter your new Card Number: ");
scan = new Scanner(System.in);
int inputCardNumber = scan.nextInt();
cardNumber = inputCardNumber;
} while(cardNumber < 95000000);
cardDao.createCard(cardNumber, cardStatus, customerId);
}
}
}
I haven't seen a multiplication-based solution yet. Logarithm, divison, and string-based solutions will become rather unwieldy against millions of test cases, so here's one for ints:
/**
* Returns the number of digits needed to represents an {#code int} value in
* the given radix, disregarding any sign.
*/
public static int len(int n, int radix) {
radixCheck(radix);
// if you want to establish some limitation other than radix > 2
n = Math.abs(n);
int len = 1;
long min = radix - 1;
while (n > min) {
n -= min;
min *= radix;
len++;
}
return len;
}
In base 10, this works because n is essentially being compared to 9, 99, 999... as min is 9, 90, 900... and n is being subtracted by 9, 90, 900...
Unfortunately, this is not portable to long just by replacing every instance of int due to overflow. On the other hand, it just so happens it will work for bases 2 and 10 (but badly fails for most of the other bases). You'll need a lookup table for the overflow points (or a division test... ew)
/**
* For radices 2 &le r &le Character.MAX_VALUE (36)
*/
private static long[] overflowpt = {-1, -1, 4611686018427387904L,

One wants to do this mostly because he/she wants to "present" it, which mostly mean it finally needs to be "toString-ed" (or transformed in another way) explicitly or implicitly anyway; before it can be presented (printed for example). If that is the case then just try to make the necessary "toString" explicit and count the bits.
We can achieve this using a recursive loop
public static int digitCount(int numberInput, int i) {
while (numberInput > 0) {
i++;
numberInput = numberInput / 10;
digitCount(numberInput, i);
}
return i;
}
public static void printString() {
int numberInput = 1234567;
int digitCount = digitCount(numberInput, 0);
System.out.println("Count of digit in ["+numberInput+"] is ["+digitCount+"]");
}
I wrote this function after looking Integer.java source code.
private static int stringSize(int x) {
final int[] sizeTable = {9, 99, 999, 9_999, 99_999, 999_999, 9_999_999,
99_999_999, 999_999_999, Integer.MAX_VALUE};
for (int i = 0; ; ++i) {
if (x <= sizeTable[i]) {
return i + 1;
}
}
}
One of the efficient ways to count the number of digits in an int variable would be to define a method digitsCounter with a required number of conditional statements.
The approach is simple, we will be checking for each range in which a n digit number can lie:
0 : 9 are Single digit numbers
10 : 99 are Double digit numbers
100 : 999 are Triple digit numbers and so on...
static int digitsCounter(int N)
{ // N = Math.abs(N); // if `N` is -ve
if (0 <= N && N <= 9) return 1;
if (10 <= N && N <= 99) return 2;
if (100 <= N && N <= 999) return 3;
if (1000 <= N && N <= 9999) return 4;
if (10000 <= N && N <= 99999) return 5;
if (100000 <= N && N <= 999999) return 6;
if (1000000 <= N && N <= 9999999) return 7;
if (10000000 <= N && N <= 99999999) return 8;
if (100000000 <= N && N <= 999999999) return 9;
return 10;
}
A cleaner way to do this is to remove the check for the lower limits as it won't be required if we proceed in a sequential manner.
static int digitsCounter(int N)
{
N = N < 0 ? -N : N;
if (N <= 9) return 1;
if (N <= 99) return 2;
if (N <= 999) return 3;
if (N <= 9999) return 4;
if (N <= 99999) return 5;
if (N <= 999999) return 6;
if (N <= 9999999) return 7;
if (N <= 99999999) return 8;
if (N <= 999999999) return 9;
return 10; // Max possible digits in an 'int'
}
Ideally, an integer divided by 10 multiple times will return the number of digits as long as the integer is not zero. As such a simple method to do so can be created as below.
public static int getNumberOfDigits(int number) {
int numberOfDigits = 0;
while(number != 0) {
number /= 10;
numberOfDigits++;
}
return numberOfDigits;
}
It depends on what you mean by "neat". I think the following code is fairly neat, and it runs fast.
It is based on Marian's answer, extended to work with all long values and rendered using the ? : operator.
private static long[] DIGITS = { 1l,
10l,
100l,
1000l,
10000l,
100000l,
1000000l,
10000000l,
100000000l,
1000000000l,
10000000000l,
100000000000l,
1000000000000l,
10000000000000l,
100000000000000l,
1000000000000000l,
10000000000000000l,
100000000000000000l,
1000000000000000000l };
public static int numberOfDigits(final long n)
{
return n == Long.MIN_VALUE ? 19 : n < 0l ? numberOfDigits(-n) :
n < DIGITS[8] ? // 1-8
n < DIGITS[4] ? // 1-4
n < DIGITS[2] ? // 1-2
n < DIGITS[1] ? 1 : 2 : // 1-2
n < DIGITS[3] ? 3 : 4 : // 3-4
n < DIGITS[6] ? // 5-8
n < DIGITS[5] ? 5 : 6 : // 5-6
n < DIGITS[7] ? 7 : 8 : // 7-8
n < DIGITS[16] ? // 9-16
n < DIGITS[12] ? // 9-12
n < DIGITS[10] ? // 9-10
n < DIGITS[9] ? 9 : 10 : // 9-10
n < DIGITS[11] ? 11 : 12 : // 11-12
n < DIGITS[14] ? // 13-16
n < DIGITS[13] ? 13 : 14 : // 13-14
n < DIGITS[15] ? 15 : 16 : // 15-16
n < DIGITS[17] ? 17 : // 17-19
n < DIGITS[18] ? 18 :
19;
}
Here is what such solution looks from the JDK developers. This is JDK 17 (class Long):
/**
* Returns the string representation size for a given long value.
*
* #param x long value
* #return string size
*
* #implNote There are other ways to compute this: e.g. binary search,
* but values are biased heavily towards zero, and therefore linear search
* wins. The iteration results are also routinely inlined in the generated
* code after loop unrolling.
*/
static int stringSize(long x) {
int d = 1;
if (x >= 0) {
d = 0;
x = -x;
}
long p = -10;
for (int i = 1; i < 19; i++) {
if (x > p)
return i + d;
p = 10 * p;
}
return 19 + d;
}
Note that the method takes into account a minus sign, if necessary.
Unfortunately the method is not exposed.
In terms of performance you can see from the comments that the JDK developer has at least given this some thought compared to alternatives. I would guess that
a divide-and-conquer method skewed toward lower numbers would perform slightly
better, because the CPU can do integer comparisons a bit faster than integer
multiplications. But the difference may so small that it is not measurable.
In any case, I wish this method had been exposed in the JDK so that people would not start rolling their own method.
Here's a really simple method I made that works for any number:
public static int numberLength(int userNumber) {
int numberCounter = 10;
boolean condition = true;
int digitLength = 1;
while (condition) {
int numberRatio = userNumber / numberCounter;
if (numberRatio < 1) {
condition = false;
} else {
digitLength++;
numberCounter *= 10;
}
}
return digitLength;
}
The way it works is with the number counter variable is that 10 = 1 digit space. For example .1 = 1 tenth => 1 digit space. Therefore if you have int number = 103342; you'll get 6, because that's the equivalent of .000001 spaces back. Also, does anyone have a better variable name for numberCounter? I can't think of anything better.
Edit: Just thought of a better explanation. Essentially what this while loop is doing is making it so you divide your number by 10, until it's less than one. Essentially, when you divide something by 10 you're moving it back one number space, so you simply divide it by 10 until you reach <1 for the amount of digits in your number.
Here's another version that can count the amount of numbers in a decimal:
public static int repeatingLength(double decimalNumber) {
int numberCounter = 1;
boolean condition = true;
int digitLength = 1;
while (condition) {
double numberRatio = decimalNumber * numberCounter;
if ((numberRatio - Math.round(numberRatio)) < 0.0000001) {
condition = false;
} else {
digitLength++;
numberCounter *= 10;
}
}
return digitLength - 1;
}
