Loop to print reverse of any size number

[bitong]

The problem is input a number then the output should be in reverse order..
I already made a code but only good for 9 - digit only...What I want to do is to hold infinite digit, in other words don't have a limit on how many digit that I want to input..

for (x = y;x>0;x=x/10){
z = x % 10;
cout<<z;
}

* code good for 9 - digit only, if I input 10 digit its output is not correct anymore..I used int as data type
Pls. Help

In recursion we trust!

Just call revhat() with your number.

What's revhat()? could you please elaborate more?

That post had some full code, which is not allowed (see our Posting Guidelines).

I'm having trouble understanding why this code doesn't work universally...

This simple code compiled:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
 
int main() {
    cout << "Please enter a number: ";
    int y;
    cin >> y;
    cout << endl;
 
    int x, z;
 
    for (x = y; x > 0; x /= 10){
        z = x % 10;
        cout << z;
    }
    cout << endl;
    return 0;
}
 

and produced the following result:

$ digit.exe
Please enter a number: 1231231231
 
1321321321

Anything more than 10 digits was not working - possibly because you are exceeding the maximum amount for an int?

EDIT: After a few more test runs, I'm sure of it. The maximum value for an int is something like 2,148,000,000, which is 10 digits. If you input anything greater than that, your program won't work (because an int isn't big enough to hold that). This is an expected error, so I wouldn't worry about it. If you need to use numbers bigger than 10 digits, try a long int.

I am sorry but code was deleted by moderator.

I provided code implementing following recursive algorithm :

revrec() function takes an integer argument :
if it is not 0 then last digit is printed and revrec() is called again with argument divided by 10.

The revhat() function is intended to check if initial argument is 0, in which case it is printed. Else, revrec() is called with argument.
