Thread: Question: Program returning large negative value as output

Ive been working on a program for a couple hours now for my C class, and it's a question im sure most of you have seen before:

Write a function that takes an integer value and
returns the number with it's digits reversed. For example,
given the number 7631, the function should return 1367

The question isn't exactly what im having a problem with though, im not getting the answer im expecting (im positive the math is fine) rather, im getting a large negative number in its place

Code:

int reversenum(int);


int main ()
{
    int num1;
    int result;
    
    num1 = 0;
    result = 0;
    
    printf("Enter a number between 1 and 10,000 inclusive: ");
    scanf("%d", &num1 );
    
    if (num1 < 0 || num1 > 10000)
    {
        printf("Invalid Entry\n\n");
        return -1;
    }
    
    result = reversenum(num1);
    
    printf("The reversed number is: %d\n\n", &result);
    
    return 0;
    
}


int reversenum(int num1)
{
    int num2;
    int num3;
    int rev;
    int place;
    int placecnt;
    
    num2 = 0;
    num3 = 0;
    rev = 0;
    place = 0;
    placecnt = 0;
    
    place = floor(log10(num1));
    
    num2 = num1;
    
    for (placecnt = 0; placecnt <= place; placecnt++)
    {
        num3 = floor(num2/ pow(10, (place-placecnt)));
        num2 = num2 - num3* pow(10, (place-placecnt));
        rev = rev + num3* pow(10,  placecnt);
    }
    return rev;
}

The output appears as such:
Enter a number between 1 and 10,000 inclusive: 1234
The reversed number is: -1075628736

im not entirely sure what it is that i am doing wrong, i have been trial and error-ing for a couple of hours now, and i would much appreciate any assistance

What is 12345 / 10 ? and 12345 % 10? Your solution takes on unnecessary complication. So, look at the results of div & mod and you'll see the majority of the solution.
