Write a C++ program to


check weather a number is
PALINDROME.

C++ Program to Check


Whether a Number is
Palindrome or Not
To understand this example, you should have the knowledge of the
following C++ programming topics:
 C++ while and do...while Loop
 C++ if, if...else and Nested if...else

This program takes an integer from user and that integer is reversed.

If the reversed integer is equal to the integer entered by user then, that
number is a palindrome if not that number is not a palindrome.

Example: Check Palindrome Number


#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
int n, num, digit, rev = 0;

cout << "Enter a positive number: ";


cin >> num;

n = num;

do
{
digit = num % 10;
rev = (rev * 10) + digit;
num = num / 10;
} while (num != 0);

cout << " The reverse of the number is: " << rev << endl;

if (n == rev and n > 0) // Negative numbers are not palindromic


cout << " The number is a palindrome.";
else
cout << " The number is not a palindrome.";

return 0;
}
Run Code

Output

Enter a positive number: 12321


The reverse of the number is: 12321
The number is a palindrome.

Enter a positive number: 12331


The reverse of the number is: 13321
The number is not a palindrome.

In the above program, use is asked to enter a positive number which is


stored in the variable num .

The number is then saved into another variable n to check it when the
original number has been reversed.
Inside the do...while loop, last digit of the number is separated using the
code digit = num % 10; . This digit is then added to the rev variable.
Before adding the digit to rev , we first need to multiply the current data in
the rev variable by 10 in order to add the digit to the nth place in the
number.
For example: in the number 123, 3 is in the zeroth place, 2 in the oneth place
and 1 in the hundredth place.
So, to add another number 4 after 123, we need to shift the current
numbers to the left, so now 1 is in the thousandth place, 2 in the oneth place,
3 is in the onethplace and 4 in the zeroth place.
This is done easily by multiplying 123 by 10 which gives 1230 and adding
the number 4, which gives 1234. The same is done in the code above.

When the do while loop finally ends, we have a reversed number in rev .

This number is then compared to the original number n .


If the numbers are equal, the original number is a palindrome, otherwise it's
not.
