# Check if a number is Palindrome in C++

C++Server Side ProgrammingProgramming

Here we will see, how to check whether a number is a palindrome or not. The palindrome numbers are the same in both directions. For example, a number 12321 is a palindrome, but 12345 is not a palindrome.

The logic is very straight forward. We have to reverse the number, and if the reversed number is the same as the actual number, then that is a palindrome, otherwise not. Let us see the algorithm to get a better idea.

## Algorithm

isPalindrome(n) −

input − The number n

output − true, if the number is a palindrome, otherwise, false

begin
temp := n
rev := 0
while n > 0, do
rev := rev * 10 + (n mod 10)
n := n / 10
done
if rev = temp, then
return true
return false
end

## Example

Live Demo

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
bool isPalindrome(int number) {
int temp = number;
int rev = 0;
while(number > 0){
rev = 10 * rev + number % 10; //take the last digit, and attach with the rev number /= 10;
}
if(rev == temp)
return true;
return false;
}
int main() {
int n = 12321;
if(isPalindrome(n)){
cout << n << " is palindrome number";
} else {
cout << n << " is not a palindrome number";
}
}

## Output

12321 is palindrome number
