Practice Problem

Palindrome Number

Difficulty: Easy

Determine whether an integer is a palindrome without converting it to a string, by reversing half of the number and comparing.

Palindrome Number

Given an integer x, return true if x is a palindrome, and false otherwise.

An integer is a palindrome when it reads the same forward and backward.

Follow-up: Could you solve it without converting the integer to a string?

Examples

Example 1:

Input: x = 121
Output: true
Explanation: 121 reads as 121 from left to right and from right to left.

Example 2:

Input: x = -121
Output: false
Explanation: From left to right, it reads -121. From right to left it becomes 121-. Therefore it is not a palindrome.

Example 3:

Input: x = 10
Output: false
Explanation: Reads 01 from right to left. Therefore it is not a palindrome.

Constraints

  • -2^31 <= x <= 2^31 - 1

Expected Complexity

  • Time: O(log n) where n is the value of x (we process half the digits)
  • Space: O(1)
