The problem was to reverse user entered digits. I have it working but while testing it I realized that it won't print either leading or trailing zeros.
For example if I enter 10 it only displays 1 in the result.
If I enter 0110 I get a result of 11.
Here is my code:
public class ReversingDigits {
int value;
int reverse;
public ReversingDigits() {
value = 10;
reverse = 0;
}// end constructor
public void reverse() {
System.out.println("Enter a valid 2-4 digit number: ");
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
value = input.nextInt();
if (value < 10 || value > 9999){
System.out.print("Please enter a valid 2-4 digit number: ");
value = input.nextInt();
}
while (value > 0) {
reverse *= 10;
reverse += value % 10;
value /= 10;
}
System.out.println("Reversed numbers are: " + reverse);
}
}//end class
Any ideas on how to get the zeros to print?
Thanks
Make sure you work with a String while reversing your number. It will preserve leading zeros. As you know 00001 is the same as 1 when in int
representation, and so converting that to a string will remove all leading zeros.
Here's your code sample modified to read a string from the input, and only convert it to an int when you need to check the range.
public void reverse() {
System.out.println("Enter a valid 2-4 digit number: ");
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
String value = input.next();
int valueInt = Integer.parseInt(value);
if (valueInt < 10 || valueInt > 9999){
System.out.print("Please enter a valid 2-4 digit number: ")
value = input.next();
}
String valueReversed = new StringBuilder(value).reverse().toString();
System.out.println("Reversed numbers are: " + valueReversed);
}
Note that in your code, if a user enters the wrong range twice in a row, your program won't prompt him again. You may want to put this part of the code into a do-while
loop which only exits when the input range is correct. Example
do {
System.out.print("Please enter a valid 2-4 digit number: ")
value = input.next();
int valueInt = Integer.parseInt(value);
} while (valueInt < 10 || valueInt > 9999);
//only get here when inputted value finally within target range.
Edit: As mentioned by @Levenal, you may also want to wrap Integer.parseInt
in a try/catch
block for NumberFormatException
in the event the user passes in a non-numerical input.
As has been pointed out, reversing numbers you are much better off reversing a string. If you are allowed to stray away from console input, JOptionPane is quite good for simple String input, like so:
while(true){
String input = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Please anter a number between 10 & 9999: ");
if(input == null){//If input cancelled
break; //Exit loop
} else if(input.matches("\\d{2,4}")){//Regex for at least 2 but no more than 4 numbers
System.out.println(new StringBuilder(input).reverse().toString());//Reverse
break;
}
}
Good luck!
