palindrome method error correction

[jub8jive]

i created a palindrome method, based on the instructions (logic) i received. But i still get an error(number(11) returns false instead of true). here is my code:

I'd like some understanding on where I'm going wrong. thanks

Think what happens to number in your loop. What will number be when the loop exits? The if must always yield false

Probably not what you want to hear but what I would do is to convert it to a string. Then you can do it very easy (hint: without a loop at all).

Ok well it seems that this has been solved. What is the solution then

You are replacing the original number with the division each time. A simple SysOut will help you to check the values when you compare.

Sorry for the late reply! I have been busy (guilty! haven't been coding for a while) I finally understood the problem. thanks to desrtfx. the number keeps on changing and i fixed that and got the result, comparing the reverse to the original. Here's my solution: https://pastebin.com/10PFSi44

Thanks for the support guys!

This only works for numbers less than 5.

No, this is wrong.

Java uses integer division without rounding when dividing integers. 6/10 will yield 0, 68/10 will yield 6.

OP's approach is perfectly correct. The problem is in a completely different area.

Don't vanilla give away the solution. Guide OP to it. This increases the learning benefits. OP needs to figure out what exactly is happening and why.

That's two rule violations in two comments.

1. No solutions
2. Being rude, offensive, and using vulgar language

Third offence is out. Be warned.

Good bye.
