Reverse Integer

Reverse digits of an integer.

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

Have you thought about this?

Here are some good questions to ask before coding. Bonus points for you if you have already thought through this!

If the integer's last digit is 0, what should the output be? ie, cases such as 10, 100.

Did you notice that the reversed integer might overflow? Assume the input is a 32-bit integer, then the reverse of 1000000003 overflows. How should you handle such cases?

For the purpose of this problem, assume that your function returns 0 when the reversed integer overflows.

Note: The input is assumed to be a 32-bit signed integer. Your function should return 0 when the reversed integer overflows.

Solution

public class Solution {

    public int reverse(int x){
        if(x <10 && x > -10) return x;

        if(x > 0) return reversePositive(x);
        else return 0 - reversePositive(-x);

    }

    public static int reversePositive(int x){
        String test = Integer.toString(x);
        int size = test.length();

        char[] testChars = test.toCharArray();
        int start = 0;
        int end = size - 1;
        while(start < end){
            char temp = testChars[start];
            testChars[start] = testChars[end];
            testChars[end] = temp;

            start ++;
            end --;
        }

        String resultString = new String(testChars);
        return Integer.valueOf(resultString);
    }


    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Solution s = new Solution();
        System.out.println(s.reverse(123));
    }
}
