10.Palindrome Number

Palindrome Number

Determine whether an integer is a palindrome. Do this without extra space.

Some hints:

Could negative integers be palindromes? (ie, -1)

If you are thinking of converting the integer to string, note the restriction of using extra space.

You could also try reversing an integer. However, if you have solved the problem "Reverse Integer", you know that the reversed integer might overflow. How would you handle such case?

There is a more generic way of solving this problem.

Solution: nagative and less than 10 non-nagative poistions are be specially processed.

So1: use String,more easy way.

public class Solution {
    public boolean isPalindrome(int x) {
        if (x < 0) {
            return false;
        }
        else if (x>=0 && x<=9) {
            return true;
        }
        else{
            String a = String.valueOf(x);
            int i = 0;
            int j = a.length()-1;
            while(i<j){
                if(a.charAt(i)!=a.charAt(j)){
                    return false;
                }
                i++;
                j--;
            }
            return true;
        }
    }
}

So2: use int. each time select highest one and lowest one to judge whether they are the same. be careful the detail.

public class Solution {
    public boolean isPalindrome(int x) {
        if (x < 0) {
            return false;
        }
        else if (x>=0 && x<=9) {
            return true;
        }
        else {
            int base = 1;
            int k = x;
            int t = 0;
            while (true) {
                t = k/10;
                if (t == 0) {
                    break;
                }
                else {
                    base *=10;
                }
                k = k/10;
            }
            
            while(x>0) {
                int low = x%10;
                int high = x/base;
                if (low != high) {
                    return false;
                }
                x = x%base;
                base = base/100;//头和尾都去掉，是除以100
                x = x/10;
            }
            return true;
            
        }
    }
}
