Okay, so today I messed around with “adam vish oline,” which, if you’re not familiar, is all about checking if a number’s reverse is the same when you square it and then reverse the square. Sounds kinda wild, right? Let me walk you through what I did.
First Crack at It
I started by just brainstorming how to even approach this. I knew I needed a few things:
- A way to reverse a number.
- A way to square a number (easy peasy!).
- A way to put it all together.
I decided to write some simple functions. I’m a big fan of keeping things separate, makes it easier to debug if something goes wonky. I whipped up a function to reverse a number. The trick is to do the math to pull off each digit. And the reverse square root is the same method.
Putting It All Together
Once I had my little helper functions, I wrote the main function. I created a reverse number function, and the result of the reverse number is to do the square root.
I ran a few test numbers through it, and at First, I got some weird results. I realized the calculation error.
The “Aha!” Moment
I traced and finally fixed, it works great!
It’s always satisfying when you finally crack a problem, even if it’s a small one. It’s like a little puzzle, and figuring it out is a good feeling. Plus, I learned a bit more about manipulating numbers, which is always handy. Maybe I’ll try to optimize it later, but for now, I’m happy it works!
