C language help"determine palindrome"

please help me out with this coding I need to determine if the set of the number is Palsindrome.

Code:

---

  1    #include <stdio.h>
      2
      3      int main()
      4      {
      5
      6        int number;
      7        int a=/*needed number*/;
      8        int x=0;
      9        int y=a;
    10
    11            printf("Enter the set of number:");
    12            scanf("%d", &number);
    13                while(z)
    14          {
    15            x*=10;
    16            x+=z%10;
    17            z/=10;
    18          }
    19
    20            if(x==a){
    21
    22              printf("The set of number is a Palindrome");
    23
    24        }
    25
    26        else{
    27                printf("The set of number is not a Palindrome");
    28
    29        }
    30          return 0;
    31      }

This looks like "homework", which this forum tends to not just "give the answer", but rather tyr to help the poster find the right answer him/herself.

So, my hint is: what is "a" and "y "used for?

Where did u declared 'z'?

thats the first time I have seen a poster use the line numbers in the post ;)

Read the FAQ, it tells you how to get a number from the user (safely) - find the link yourself. Ensure you've researched how to find if a number is a Palsindrome, then get into coding - don't just dive in.

You should,
* Draw up an IPO chart (Input, Processing, Output) - since you seem a bit confused as to what you need.
* Draw up a flowchart or an NS diagram (research them) - so you can nut out the algorithm

Hand the design in with the solution, even if it's not asked of - usually you can score a couple of marks if the teacher see's you've done it correct in design, but made a mistake in the programming or something.

Have fun.
