9. Palindrome Number

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

 

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:

  • -231 <= x <= 231 - 1

Approach 01: Reverse Half Number



class Solution {
public:
    bool isPalindrome(int x) {
        if (x < 0 || (x % 10 == 0 && x != 0)) return false;
        int reversedHalf = 0;
        while (x > reversedHalf) {
            reversedHalf = reversedHalf * 10 + x % 10;
            x /= 10;
        }
        return x == reversedHalf || x == reversedHalf / 10;
    }
};

Time Complexity:

  • O(log(x)): We only iterate through half of the digits.

Space Complexity:

  • O(1): Constant space used.
class Solution:
    def isPalindrome(self, x: int) -> bool:
        if x < 0 or (x % 10 == 0 and x != 0):
            return False
        reversedHalf = 0
        while x > reversedHalf:
            reversedHalf = reversedHalf * 10 + x % 10
            x //= 10
        return x == reversedHalf or x == reversedHalf // 10

Time Complexity:

  • O(log(x)): We only iterate through half of the digits.

Space Complexity:

  • O(1): Constant space used.
class Solution {
    public boolean isPalindrome(int x) {
        if (x < 0 || (x % 10 == 0 && x != 0)) return false;
        int reversedHalf = 0;
        while (x > reversedHalf) {
            reversedHalf = reversedHalf * 10 + x % 10;
            x /= 10;
        }
        return x == reversedHalf || x == reversedHalf / 10;
    }
}
