Number reverse formula reverses the number - function argument. f(123) = 321

Let analyze how 123 converted to 321.

321 = 1*1 + 2*10 + 3*100

 

So we need a function that will get an nth digit from the number x.

\(p(x,n)={\left\lfloor\frac{x}{10^{n}}\right\rfloor}\operatorname{mod}10\)

 

\(\left\lfloor\frac{x}{10^n}\right\rfloor\) can be written as \(\lfloor10^{-n}x\rfloor\)

\(\left\lfloor\frac{x}{10^n}\right\rfloor=\lfloor10^{-n}x\rfloor\)

 

So

\(p(x,n)={\lfloor10^{-n}x\rfloor}\operatorname{mod}10\)

 

The other function we need is the function that gets number length.

\(l(x) = \lfloor\log_{10}x\rfloor\)

 

Substitute these formulas instead of numbers:

\(rev(123) = p(123, 0)*10^{l(123)-0} + p(123, 1)*10^{l(123)-1} + p(123, 2)*10^{l(123)-2} = 3*100 + 2*10 + 1*1 = 321 \)

 

So, here's completed function:

\(rev(x)=\sum^{l(x)}_{n=0}p(x,n)*10^{l(x)-n}\)

Where is a natural number or 0.

 

All in heap:

\(rev(x)=\sum^{\lfloor\operatorname{log}_{10}x\rfloor}_{n=0}\left\lfloor10^{-n}x\right\rfloor\operatorname{mod}10*10^{\lfloor{log_{10}x\rfloor}-n}\)

Here is a hastily written one line code in C++ that does the same thing in 1 nano second:

 

a=123; b=int(log(a));c=int(a / 10^b);d=int(a / 10^(b-1)) %10; e=a%10; f=e*(10^b) + d*(10^(b-1)) + c*(10^(b-2))=321

I also can write the program that reverses the given number but my main target was to write the number reverser using math.
