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

-spec is_palindrome(X :: integer()) -> boolean().
is_palindrome(X) when X < 0 ->
    false;
is_palindrome(X) ->
    Rev = reverse_number(X, 0),
    Rev == X.

-spec reverse_number(Num :: integer(), Rev :: integer()) -> integer().
reverse_number(0, Rev) ->
    Rev;
reverse_number(Num, Rev) ->
    Digit = Num rem 10,
    NewRev = Rev * 10 + Digit,
    reverse_number(Num div 10, NewRev).
