Question

Ok so I wrote a program which asks user to input a number and then reverse it. I was successful in it however the program does not reverses numbers that end with a 0. for example if i enter 1234 it will print out 4321 however if i input 1200 it will only output 21. I tried converting the number that is to become output into string. Please help me understand where I am doing it wrong. Just remember I am a beginner at this :). Below is my code.

import java.util.*;
public class ReverseNumber
{
    public static void main (String [] args)
    {
        Scanner n = new Scanner(System.in);
        int num;
        System.out.println("Please enter the number");
        num = n.nextInt();
        int temp = 0;
        int reverse = 0;
        String str = "";
        System.out.println("The number before getting reversed " + num);
        while (num != 0)
        {
            temp = num % 10;
            reverse = reverse*10 + temp;
            num = num/10;
            str = Integer.toString(reverse);
        }
        //String str = Integer.toString(reverse);
        System.out.println("The reversed number is " + str);
    }
}

You’re storing your reversed number as an int. The reverse of 1200 is 0021, but that’s just 21 as an int. You can fix it by converting each digit to a string separately.
