Reverse Number

Write a function reverse_number(n) that takes a number as an argument and returns the reverse of that number. The function should meet the following requirements:

The function should reverse the number, regardless of whether it is positive or negative.

The function should return a float if the input is a float, and an integer if the input is an integer.

The function should not use any built-in functions that directly reverse a number (e.g. reversed()).

The function should not use any built-in functions that directly convert a number to a string (e.g. str()).

The function should not use any built-in functions that directly convert a string to a number (e.g. int() or float()).

from math import copysign def reverse_number(n): return copysign(float(str(n)[::-1].replace('-', '')), n)

reverse_number(981) ## 189 reverse_number(-500) ## -5 reverse_number(73.6) ## 6.37 reverse_number(-5.23) ## -32.5
