Practical Applications
Real-World Scenarios for Numeric Reversal
1. Palindrome Validation
Numeric reversal is crucial for determining if a number is a palindrome:
def is_palindrome(number):
return number == int(str(number)[::-1])
## Examples
print(is_palindrome(12321)) ## Output: True
print(is_palindrome(12345)) ## Output: False

def simple_crypto_transform(number, shift=3):
reversed_num = int(str(number)[::-1])
return reversed_num + shift
## Example in LabEx environment
original = 12345
crypto_value = simple_crypto_transform(original)
print(f"Original: {original}, Transformed: {crypto_value}")

4. Data Validation and Processing
def validate_and_reverse(number_sequence):
validated_numbers = []
for num in number_sequence:
if num > 0:
reversed_num = int(str(num)[::-1])
validated_numbers.append(reversed_num)
return validated_numbers
## Example
numbers = [1234, 5678, 9012, -3456]
result = validate_and_reverse(numbers)
print(result) ## Output: [4321, 8765, 2109]
Recursive Digit Manipulation
def complex_digit_transform(number):
def digit_sum(n):
return sum(int(digit) for digit in str(n))
reversed_num = int(str(number)[::-1])
return digit_sum(reversed_num)
## Example
print(complex_digit_transform(12345)) ## Output: 15
Efficient Reversal for Large Numbers
def optimized_reverse(number):
## Handle large numbers efficiently
try:
reversed_num = int(str(abs(number))[::-1])
return reversed_num if number >= 0 else -reversed_num
except OverflowError:
return None
## Performance test
large_number = 9876543210
result = optimized_reverse(large_number)
print(result)
