Integer reverse() Method In Java

The java.lang.Integer.reverse() is an inbuilt method in Java and is used to return the reverse order of the bits in the two’s complement binary representation of the specified int value.

Syntax:

public static int reverse(int a)

Parameters: The parameter a is an integer value whose bits are to be reversed.

Return Value: The method returns the value which is obtained by reversing the order of the bits in the specified int value.

Examples:



Input: 86
Output: 1778384896
Explanation:
Consider an integer a = 86
Binary Representation = 1010110
The number of one bit = 4 
After reversing it is = 1778384896

Input: 168
Output: 352321536

Below programs illustrate the java.lang.Integer.reverse() method:

Program 3: For a decimal value and string.

Note: It throws an error message when a decimal value or string is passed as an argument.
