Given an integer N, the task is to check if 

N_B
 

(N in base B) is palindrome or not.


 

Examples: 


 

Input: N = 5, B = 2 
Output: Yes 
Explanation: 
(5)10 = (101)2 which is palindrome. Therefore, the required output is Yes.
Input: N = 4, B = 2 
Output: No 
 


 

Approach: The problem can be solved by checking if the decimal value of the reverse of 


N_B
 

is equal to N or not. Follow the steps below to solve the problem. 


 

  1. Initialize the variable, rev = 0 to store the reverse of N.
  2. Extract the digits of

N_B

  1. by N % B.
  2. For each digit of

N_B

  1. Update rev= rev * B + N % B
  2. Finally, check if N is equal to rev or not


 

Below is the implementation of the above approach:
 


 

C++

// C++ program to implement
// the above approach
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to check if N in
// base B is palindrome or not
int checkPalindromeB(int N, int B)
{
    // Stores the reverse of N
    int rev = 0;
 
    // Stores the value of N
    int N1 = N;
 
    // Extract all the digits of N
    while (N1) {
        // Generate its reverse
        rev = rev * B + N1 % B;
        N1 = N1 / B;
    }
 
    return N == rev;
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    int N = 5, B = 2;
    if (checkPalindromeB(N, B)) {
        cout << "Yes";
    }
    else {
        cout << "No";
    }
}

                    

Java

// Java program to implement
// the above approach
class GFG{
 
// Function to check if N in
// base B is palindrome or not
static boolean checkPalindromeB(int N,
                                int B)
{
     
    // Stores the reverse of N
    int rev = 0;
 
    // Stores the value of N
    int N1 = N;
 
    // Extract all the digits of N
    while (N1 > 0)
    {
         
        // Generate its reverse
        rev = rev * B + N1 % B;
        N1 = N1 / B;
    }
    return N == rev;
}
 
// Driver code
public static void main(String[] args)
{
    int N = 5, B = 2;
     
    if (checkPalindromeB(N, B))
    {
        System.out.print("Yes");
    }
    else
    {
        System.out.print("No");
    }
}
}

<script>

function checkPalindromeB(N, B)
{
    // Stores the reverse of N
    var rev = 0;

    var N1 = N;
 
    // Extract all the digits of N
    while (N1) {
        // Generate its reverse
        rev = rev * B + N1 % B;
        N1 = parseInt(N1 / B);
    }
 
    return N == rev;
}
 
// Driver Code
var N = 5, B = 2;
if (checkPalindromeB(N, B)) {
    document.write("Yes");
}
else {
    document.write("No");
}
 
 
</script>

                    

Output: 
Yes

 

Time Complexity:O(logBN) 
Auxiliary Space:O(1)
