Reverse digits of an integer with overflow handled

Write a program to reverse an integer assuming that the input is a 32-bit integer. If the reversed integer overflows, print -1 as the output.

Let us see a simple approach to reverse digits of an integer.

C++

// A simple C program to reverse digits of 
// an integer. 
#include <stdio.h> 
  
int reversDigits(int num) 
{ 
    int rev_num = 0; 
    while (num > 0) 
    { 
        rev_num = rev_num*10 + num%10; 
        num = num/10; 
    } 
    return rev_num; 
} 
   
/* Driver program to test reversDigits */
int main() 
{ 
    int num = 5896; 
    printf("Reverse of no. is %d", reversDigits(num)); 
    return 0; 
} 

Java

// Java program to reverse a number  
  
class GFG 
{ 
    /* Iterative function to reverse 
    digits of num*/
    static int reversDigits(int num) 
    { 
        int rev_num = 0; 
        while(num > 0) 
        { 
            rev_num = rev_num * 10 + num % 10; 
            num = num / 10; 
        } 
        return rev_num; 
    } 
      
    // Driver code 
    public static void main (String[] args)  
    { 
        int num = 4562; 
        System.out.println("Reverse of no. is " 
                           + reversDigits(num)); 
    } 
}

Python

# Python program to reverse a number  
  
n = 4562; 
rev = 0
  
while(n > 0): 
    a = n % 10
    rev = rev * 10 + a 
    n = n / 10
      
print(rev)

C#

// C# program to reverse a number  
using System; 
  
class GFG 
{ 
    // Iterative function to  
    // reverse digits of num 
    static int reversDigits(int num) 
    { 
        int rev_num = 0; 
        while(num > 0) 
        { 
            rev_num = rev_num * 10 + num % 10; 
            num = num / 10; 
        } 
        return rev_num; 
    } 
      
    // Driver code 
    public static void Main()  
    { 
        int num = 4562; 
        Console.Write("Reverse of no. is "
                        + reversDigits(num)); 
    } 
}

PHP

<?php 
// Iterative function to  
// reverse digits of num 
function reversDigits($num) 
{ 
    $rev_num = 0; 
    while($num > 1) 
    { 
        $rev_num = $rev_num * 10 +  
                        $num % 10; 
        $num = (int)$num / 10; 
    } 
    return $rev_num; 
} 
  
// Driver Code 
$num = 4562; 
echo "Reverse of no. is ",  
       reversDigits($num); 
  
// This code is contributed by aj_36 
?> 

Output:

However, if the number is large such that the reverse overflows, the output is some garbage value. If we run the code above with input as any large number say 1000000045, then the output is some garbage value like 1105032705 or any other garbage value. See this for the output.

How to handle overflow?
The idea is to store previous value of the sum can be stored in a variable which can be checked every time to see if the reverse overflowed or not.

Below is the implementation to deal with such a situation.

C++

// C++ program to reverse digits  
// of a number 
#include <bits/stdc++.h> 
  
using namespace std; 
  
/* Iterative function to reverse  
digits of num*/
int reversDigits(int num) 
{ 
    // Handling negative numbers 
    bool negativeFlag = false; 
    if (num < 0) 
    { 
        negativeFlag = true; 
        num = -num ; 
    } 
  
    int prev_rev_num = 0, rev_num = 0; 
    while (num != 0) 
    { 
        int curr_digit = num % 10; 
  
        rev_num = (rev_num * 10) + curr_digit; 
  
        // checking if the reverse overflowed or not. 
        // The values of (rev_num - curr_digit)/10 and 
        // prev_rev_num must be same if there was no 
        // problem. 
        if ((rev_num - curr_digit) /  
               10 != prev_rev_num) 
        { 
            cout << "WARNING OVERFLOWED!!!"
                 << endl; 
            return 0; 
        } 
  
        prev_rev_num = rev_num; 
        num = num / 10; 
    } 
  
    return (negativeFlag == true) ? 
                         -rev_num : rev_num; 
} 
  
// Driver Code 
int main() 
{ 
    int num = 12345; 
    cout << "Reverse of no. is " 
         << reversDigits(num) << endl; 
  
    num = 1000000045; 
    cout << "Reverse of no. is " 
         << reversDigits(num) << endl; 
  
    return 0; 
}
