Reverse in integer in Java without using Strings or Arrays.

Salesforce.com, Market Street San Francisco asked me this question on an interview.

Three things you need to know:

1. Taking the input integer and modding (%) by 10 will extract off the rightmost digit. example: (1234 % 10) = 4

2. Multiplying an integer by 10 will "push it left" exposing a zero to the right of that number, example: (5 * 10) = 50

3. Dividing an integer by 10 will remove the rightmost digit. (75 / 10) = 7


Pseudocode:
a. Extract off the rightmost digit of your input number. (1234 % 10) = 4
b. Take that digit (4) and add it into a new reversedNum.
c. Multiply reversedNum by 10 (4 * 10) = 40, this exposes a zero to the right of your (4).
d. Divide the input by 10, (removing the rightmost digit). (1234 / 10) = 123
e. Rinse lather and repeat.

  
	public int reverseInt(int input)
	{
		long reversedNum = 0;
		
		long input_long = input;
		
		while (input != 0)
		{
			reversedNum = reversedNum * 10 + input_long % 10;
			input_long = input_long / 10;   
		}
		
		if (reversedNum > Integer.MAX_VALUE || reversedNum < Integer.MIN_VALUE)
		{
			throw new IllegalArgumentException();
		}
		return (int)reversedNum;
	}

JUnit Tests prove the above function works

import static org.junit.Assert.*;
