[java] Java reverse an int value without using array

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 :

  1. lets start with reversed_number = 0 and some value for original_number which needs to be reversed.
  2. the_last_digit = original_number % 10 (i.e, the reminder after dividing by 10)
  3. original_number = original_number/10 (since we already have the last digit, remove the last digit from the original_number)
  4. reversed_number = reversed_number * 10 + last_digit (multiply the reversed_number with 10, so as to add the last_digit to it)
  5. 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;
    }
