Given a number ‘n’ and our goal is to find out it is palindrome or not without using any extra space. We can’t make a new copy of number.

Examples:

Input: n = 2332
Output: Yes it is Palindrome.
Explanation:
original number = 2332
reversed number = 2332
Both are same hence the number is palindrome.

Input: n=1111
Output: Yes it is Palindrome.

Input: n = 1234
Output: No not Palindrome.

 

Other Approach: The other recursive approaches and the approach to compare the digits are discussed in Set-1 of this article. Here, we are discussing the other approaches.

Approach: This approach depends upon 3 major steps, find the number of digits in the number. Partition the number into 2 parts from the middle. Take care of the case when the length is odd, in which we will have to use the middle element twice. Check whether the number in both numbers are the same or not. Follow the steps below to solve the problem:

  • Initialize the variable K as the length of the number n.
  • Initialize the variable ans as 0.
  • Iterate over the range [0, K/2) using the variable i and perform the following tasks:
    • Put the value of n%10 in the variable ans and divide n by 10.
  • If K%2 equals 1 then put the value of n%10 in the variable ans.
  • After performing the above steps, if ans equals n then it’s a palindrome otherwise not.

Below is the implementation of the above approach.

C++




// C++ program for the above approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to find if the number is a
// palindrome or not
bool isPalindrome(int n)
{
    if (n < 0)
        return false;
    if (n < 10)
        return true;
 
    // Find the length of the number
    int K = ceil(log(n) / log(10));
 
    int ans = 0;
 
    // Partition the number into 2 halves
    for (int i = 0; i < K / 2; i++) {
        ans = ans * 10 + n % 10;
        n = n / 10;
    }
    if (K % 2 == 1)
        ans = ans * 10 + n % 10;
 
    // Equality Condition
    return (ans == n);
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    isPalindrome(1001) ? cout << "Yes, it is Palindrome"
                       : cout << "No, not Palindrome";
    return 0;
}


Java




// Java program for the above approach
import java.util.*;
 
class GFG{
 
// Function to find if the number is a
// palindrome or not
static boolean isPalindrome(int n)
{
    if (n < 0)
        return false;
    if (n < 10)
        return true;
 
    // Find the length of the number
    int K = (int) Math.ceil(Math.log(n) / Math.log(10));
 
    int ans = 0;
 
    // Partition the number into 2 halves
    for (int i = 0; i < K / 2; i++) {
        ans = ans * 10 + n % 10;
        n = n / 10;
    }
    if (K % 2 == 1)
        ans = ans * 10 + n % 10;
 
    // Equality Condition
    return (ans == n);
}
 
// Driver Code
public static void main(String[] args)
{
    System.out.print(isPalindrome(1001) ? "Yes, it is Palindrome"
                       : "No, not Palindrome");
}
}

# Python code for the above approach

    # Find the length of the number
    K = Math.ceil(Math.log(n) / Math.log(10))
 
    ans = 0
 
    # Partition the number into 2 halves
    for i in range(0, K // 2):
        ans = ans * 10 + n % 10
        n = Math.floor(n / 10)
    if (K % 2 == 1):
        ans = ans * 10 + n % 10
 
    # Equality Condition
    return (ans == n)
 
# Driver Code

    1001) else print("No, not Palindrome")

       isPalindrome(1001) ? document.write("Yes, it is Palindrome")
           : document.write("No, not Palindrome");

Output

Yes, it is Palindrome

 

Time Complexity: O(K), where K is the number of digits
Auxiliary Approach: O(1)
