7. Reverse Integer

Problem:

Given a 32-bit signed integer, reverse digits of an integer.

Example 1:

Input: 123
Output: 321

Example 2:

Input: -123
Output: -321

Example 3:

Input: 120
Output: 21

Note: Assume we are dealing with an environment which could only store integers within the 32-bit signed integer range: [−231,  231 − 1]. For the purpose of this problem, assume that your function returns 0 when the reversed integer overflows.

Solution:

ONE

This is a JavaScript specific solution. It is esay to write but slow to run because it generates O(n) space. This could end up a huge array.

/**
 * @param {number} x
 * @return {number}
 */
var reverse = function(x) {
  let n = Math.abs(x).toString().split('').reverse().join('')
  if (n > 2147483647) { return 0 }
  return (x < 0? -1: 1) * n
};

TWO

Pure mathamatical solution.

/**
 * @param {number} x
 * @return {number}
 */
var reverse = function(x) {
  let result = 0
  while (x) {
    result = result * 10 + x % 10
    x = x / 10 | 0
  }
  return Math.abs(result) > 2147483647 ? 0 : result
};
