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;
}
}
}

log10 method: 711ms = 3.02 times as fast as baseline
repeated divide: 2797ms = 0.77 times as fast as baseline
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.
Curious, I tried to benchmark it ...
import org.junit.Test;
import static org.junit.Assert.*;
public class TestStack1306727 {
#Test
public void bench(){
int number=1000;
int a= String.valueOf(number).length();
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

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)

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;
}

I am still somewhat of a beginner to Java, but I need help with my code. I wanted to write an Armstrong Number checker.
An Armstrong number is one whose sum of digits raised to the power three equals the number itself. 371, for example, is an Armstrong number because 3^3 + 7^3 + 1^3 = 371.
If I understand this concept correctly, then my code should work fine, but I don't know where I made mistakes. I would appreciate if you could help correct my mistakes, but still kind of stick with my solution to the problem, unless my try is completely wrong or most of it needs to change.
Here is the code:
public class ArmstrongChecker {
boolean confirm = false;
Integer input;
String converter;
int indices;
int result = 1;
void ArmstrongCheck(Integer input) {
this.input = input;
converter = input.toString();
char[] array = converter.toCharArray();
indices = array.length;
result = (int) Math.pow(array[0], indices);
for (int i = 1; i < array.length; i++) {
result = result + (int) Math.pow(array[i], indices);
}
if (result == input) {
confirm = true;
System.out.println(confirm);
} else {
System.out.println(confirm);
}
}
}
For my tries I used '153' as an input. Thank you for your help!
You aren't summing the digits, but the numeric values of the characters representing them. You can convert such a character to its numeric value by subtracting the character '0':
int result = 0;
for(int i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {
result = result + (int) Math.pow(array[i] - '0', indices);
}
Having said that, it's arguably (probably?) more elegant to read the input as an actual int number and iterate its digits by taking the reminder of 10 on each iteration. The number of digits itself can be calculated using a base-10 log.
int temp = input;
int result = 0;
int indices = (int) Math.log10(input) + 1;
while (temp != 0) {
int digit = temp % 10;
result += (int) Math.pow(digit, indices);
temp /= 10;
}
There is a small logical mistake in your code, You're not converting the character to an integer instead you're doing something like
Math.pow('1', 3) -> Math.pow(49, 3) // what you're doing
Math.pow(1, 3) // what should be done
You should first convert the character to the string using any method below
result = (int) Math.pow(array[0],indices);
for(int i = 1;i<array.length;i++) {
result = result + (int) Math.pow(array[i],indices);
}
For converting char to integer
int x = Character.getNumericValue(array[i]);
or
int x = Integer.parseInt(String.valueOf(array[i]));
or
int x = array[i] - '0';
Alternatively
You can also check for Armstrong's number without any conversion, using the logic below
public class Armstrong {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int number = 153, num, rem, res = 0;
num = number;
while (num != 0)
{
rem = num % 10;
res += Math.pow(rem, 3);
num /= 10;
}
if(res == num)
System.out.println("YES");
else
System.out.println("NO");
}
}
For any int >= 0 you can do it like this.
Print all the Armstrong numbers less than 10_000.
for (int i = 0; i < 10_000; i++) {
if (isArmstrong(i)) {
System.out.println(i);
}
}
prints
0
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
153
370
371
407
1634
8208
9474
The key is to use Math.log10 to compute the number of digits in the candidate number. This must be amended by adding 1. So Math.log10(923) returns 2.965201701025912. Casting to an int and adding 1 would be 3 digits.
The number of digits is then the power used for computation.
Then it's just a matter of summing up the digits raised to that power. The method short circuits and returns false if the sum exceeds the number before all the digits are processed.
public static boolean isArmstrong(int v) {
if (v < 0) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Argument must >= 0");
}
int temp = v;
int power = (int)Math.log10(temp)+1;
int sum = 0;
while (temp > 0) {
sum += Math.pow(temp % 10, power);
if (sum > v) {
return false;
}
temp/= 10;
}
return v == sum;
}
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.

Here is a complete solution(returns 0 if number is overflown):
public int reverse(int x) {

// Helpful to check if int is within range of "int"

// if the number is negative then turn the flag on.
if(x < 0) {

}
// used for the result.

// continue dividing till number is greater than 0

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();

scanner.close();
}
}

{
int reminder = 0, result = 0;
while (number !=0)

result = result * 10;
number = number / 10;
}

// The above code will work for negative numbers also

I am looking for a Method that removes all 9's from an Integer:

Examples:
noNine(0)->0
noNine(1991)->11
noNine(99)->0
noNine(19293949)->1234
And so on.
No Strings are allowed and no external Methods.
Can you help me?
Thanks!

You could solve this problem in multiple ways
Using a for loop to loop through each character
Using recursion
I'm going to elaborate on the second technique:
Using this technique, you could solve the problem using integers or strings. I'm going to be using intergers as you said it is a required aspect:
Get the last digit using % 10
Remove it if it is a 9
Recursively check each digit (*Remember to have a base case!)
Return final value
public int noNine(int i){
if(i < 10){
if(i == 9)
return 0;
else
return i;
}
int lastDigit = i % 10;
if(lastDigit == 9)
return noNine(i / 10);
else
return noNine(i / 10)*10+lastDigit;
}
The key takeaway here is that: n % 10 = last digit of n and n / 10 = all previous digits of n. This happens due to integer division in Java!
You could do it like this:
public int removeNines(int n) {
int returnValue = 0, multiplier = 1;
while (n > 0) {
if (n%10 != 9) {
returnValue += (n%10) * multiplier;
multiplier *= 10;
}
n /= 10;
}
return returnValue;
}
This loops through all digits and if it is not a 9 it adds it to the output. Tested here and works
Here's my version written in a slightly different manner than ritratt just in case you are not understanding his version:
public int noNines(int num) {
int multiplier = 0;
int result = 0;
while (num > 0) {
int digit = num % 10;
System.out.println("digit=" + digit);
if (digit == 9) {
//ignore
} else {
System.out.println("Adding " + (digit * (int)Math.pow(10, multiplier)));
result += digit * (int)Math.pow(10, multiplier);
multiplier++;
}
num = num / 10;
}
return result;
}
I left console output so you can see the method in action.
i am trying some math-operations with java, that does test a number if its (un)even and alter it as long as it gets to 1.
I try to run my loop for 999999times, it seems to get stuck at around ~120000times. Well, it is not stopping with an Exception, it just feels like the compiler got stuck.
I'm not that good with Java, can someone explain me what is happening here?
public static void main(String[] args) {
int n = 0;
int highestNumber = 0;
int highestCounter = 0;
int counter = 0;
for (int i = 2;i<1000000;i++) {
if (i%10000==0) {
System.out.println(i);
}
n = i;
while (n!=1) {
if (n%2==0) {
n = n/2;
} else {
n=3*n+1;
}
counter++;
}
if (counter>highestCounter) {
highestCounter = counter;
highestNumber = i;
System.out.println("HIGHEST "+highestNumber+" | counter = "+counter);
}
counter = 0;
n = 0;
}
System.out.println("final "+highestNumber);
}
You've got an overflow because 3 * n + 1 became larger than Integer.MAX_VALUE. So n gets negative and the while loop will never halt.
Use long instead of int for n!
If you want to check for the overflow instead:
while (n != 1) {
if (n % 2 == 0) {
n = n / 2;
} else {
if (n > (Integer.MAX_VALUE - 1) / 3) {
throw new RuntimeException("overflow!");
}
n = 3 * n + 1;
}
counter++;
}
Addition for Java 8
Since Java 8, the Math class provides additional static methods for 'exact' arithmetics (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) that throw an ArithmeticException in case of an overflow. Using these methods, the code can be simplified:
while (n != 1) {
if (n % 2 == 0) {
n = n / 2;
} else {
n = Math.addExact(Math.multiplyExact(3, n), 1);
}
counter++;
}
You have an overflow problem. Change the code like this and you see it:
while (n!=1) {
if(n < 0) throw new IllegalStateException("n should not become < 0" + n + "-" + counter);
if(n > ((Integer.MAX_VALUE -1) / 3)) System.out.println("n too large. " + n);
if (n%2==0) {
n = n/2;
} else {
n=3*n+1;
}
counter++;
}
if you make n to a long it works fine.
This correction works:
public static void main(String []args){
long highestCounter = -1;
long highestNumber = -1;
for (long i = 2;i<1000000;i++) {
if (i%1000==0) {
System.out.println(i);
}
long n = i;
long counter = 0;
while (n!=1) {
if (n%2==0) {
n = n/2;
} else {
n=3*n+1;
}
counter++;
}
if (counter>highestCounter) {
highestCounter = counter;
highestNumber = i;
System.out.println("HIGHEST "+highestNumber+" | counter = "+counter);
}
counter = 0;
n = 0;
}
System.out.println("final "+highestNumber);
}
Hmm, your code looks fine to me. You're solving a pretty typical problem
Is n an integer? If it's a short you might be overflowing it.
Other than that, an integer's max value is over 2 billion, so you shouldn't be hitting it. Just in case, try setting n to a long to see if that helps
Edit: Take for example, the number 77671 According to a blog I read (read: untested) the highest n for i = 77671 is 1,047,216,490
So I think n should be a long, now that I think more about it
You simply running an infinite loop inside while block, add System.out.println(counter); after counter++ to see what's going on..
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;
}

Here is a complete solution(returns 0 if number is overflown):

// continue dividing till number is greater than 0

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
