    How to return reverse number in function

    Is it possible to get reverse number in return ?

    If i pass number 123 then I want the function which can give the reverse number of original number
    Code:
    int main ()
    {
        return 0;
     }
    
    unsigned int reverse (unsigned int number)
    {
       }
    it will be like this

    321 reverse (123)

    Is it possible ?

    Yes, it is possible. Warning when reversing numbers they could exceed the size that fits in the integer type of the input.

    you can reverae a number
    Code:
     
    while
    Code:
    (n !=0)
        {
            remainder = n%10;
            reversedNumber = reversedNumber * 10+ remainder;
            n /=10;
        }

    Why not? Is this some sort of homework assignment in which you're forbidden from using the modulus operator?

    I am thinking in this way because I think it's easy we can pass number and can get return number in function. I know we can do it with modulus operator and I have done it before

    I am guessing the OP has no idea of how to write an function.

    program
    Code:
    #include<stdio.h>
    int reverse(int number, int returnNumber);
    int main()
    {
        int reverseNumber;
        
        reverseNumber = reverse(123,321);
        printf("\n reverse Number %d",reverseNumber);
        
     return(0);
    }
    int reverse(int number, int returnNumber)
    {
        returnNumber = 321;
        return(returnNumber);
    }
    Reverse number is = 4926

    If you don't want to use the modulo operator convert the number to a string, reverse the string and convert it back to a number.

    I fear the problem is much deeper.
