9. Palindrome Number

Easy

Given an integer x, return true if x is palindrome integer.

An integer is a palindrome when it reads the same backward as forward. For example, 121 is palindrome while 123 is not.

Example 1:

Input: x = 121

Output: true

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.

Example 4:

Input: x = -101

Output: false

Constraints:

Follow up: Could you solve it without converting the integer to a string?

Solution

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdbool.h>

bool isPalindrome(int x) {
    if (x < 0) {
        return false;
    }

    int rev = 0;
    int localX = x;

    while (localX > 0) {
        // Check for potential overflow
        if (rev > (2147483647 / 10)) {
            return false; // This would overflow in 32-bit int
        }
        
        rev = rev * 10 + (localX % 10);
        localX /= 10;
    }

    return rev == x;
}
