How to Check Whether a Number Is a Palindrome in Java

In this article, we will see how to check if a number is palindrome or not. This is a very basic questions in interview. But, you never know about what kind of question the interviewer will ask. So, better you prepare for every certain questions. Also there is a question to find all palindrome number from a list.  Find few more collection interview question.  Today we will see how to check a number is palindrome or not. 

Palindrome.java

package com.techbyteslearn.lab.basic;

public class Palindrome {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int number = 121;
        int temp = number;
        int finalNumber = 0;

        // Repeat the loop until the number becomes zero.
        while (number != 0) {

            // Get the last digit.
            int lastDigit = number % 10;

            // Build the reversed number.
            finalNumber = (finalNumber * 10) + lastDigit;

            // Remove the last digit from the number.
            number = number / 10;
        }

        // Compare the reversed number with the original number.
        if (finalNumber == temp) {
            System.out.println("This number is a Palindrome.");
        } else {
            System.out.println("This number is not a Palindrome.");
        }
    }
}

Output:

This number is a Palindrome.

One important correction from the original comments: % 10 gets the last digit, not the first digit. Also, number has already become 0 by the time of the final comparison, so comparing with temp is the correct approach.

Happy Learning.
