    I did the same but my code was way longer. Your solution is the best. Just add "
    return reversed;"
    after while loop ends

      Happydoodle Pa it is totally ok. In development casting and converting data structures is normal but doing mathematical calculations might impress the interviewer since all people would think of transforming the integer to string but few would think of using modulo and division

    I think the sign of the integer being reversed needs to be handled outside the reversal. So one has to take the absolute value of the number, reverse that absolute value, and then multiply the reversed number with 1 or -1 depending on the sign of the original number. At least in Python, the remainders of -ve numbers do not work in a sign-agnostic way.

    int a = 54321;
    StringBuffer str = new StringBuffer( ""+a );
    System.out.println( str.reverse().toString() );
    In this solution, Need to check if it's +ve or -ve and add the sign later on accordingly.
    This is shorter but requires parsing int to string which is less efficient, but it does the job for lazy people like me. I'm sure the client won't mind waiting 1 extra second for his reversed number.

  • @sharathchandrareddy8959
    @sharathchandrareddy8959 Před 4 lety +1

    Two things to mention here
    1. The code did handle the exception cases of integer range boundaries BUT didn't return the "reversed" value outside the loop to handle the happy case
    2. I understand that A smaller number in the range of integer might possible cross the integer range while reversing ( Reverse of 12345 is 54321 ) which is bigger than original . Is the min range meant to handle the negative integer numbers ?

      It can be used if you cast it to an int while returning. Otherwise you can just start off with an int in the first place, but this requires a bit of recoding inside the while loop.

      this will not handle negative numbers, -123 will become -123 and this is way more memory intensive than the proposed answer. Usually you trade memory for speed or speed for memory. This doesn't trade at all, it increases memory but gains no speed.

      this will not work with negative numbers, "-123" will become "321-" and also this is extremely much slower and more memory intensive than the proposed solution in the video. If you would answer that in an interview, you'd probably not get the job, and also this does not return an integer, but a stringbuilder.
      an integer in java takes up 4 bytes of memory while a String in java takes up at least "the number of chars" * 2 + 32 + rounded off to the nearest number devisable by 8.
      So the integer 123 takes up 4 bytes. The string 123 takes up 3 * 2 + 32 = 38 and then we round it off to the nearest number that can be divided by 8, and that is 40... so that string will take up at least 40 bytes.
      That is 10 times as much memory.
