Reverse Integer — LeetCode 7 Python Solution

The problem

Given a signed 32-bit integer x, return x with its digits reversed. If reversing x causes the value to go outside the signed 32-bit integer range [-231, 231 - 1], then return 0.

Example

Input

x = 123

Output

321

Python solution

class Solution:
    def reverse(self, x: int) -> int:
        ans = 0
        mi, mx = -(2**31), 2**31 - 1
        while x:
            if ans < mi // 10 + 1 or ans > mx // 10:
                return 0
            y = x % 10
            if x < 0 and y > 0:
                y -= 10
            ans = ans * 10 + y
            x = (x - y) // 10
        return ans
