ITERATIVE WAY 

Algorithm:

Input:  num
(1) Initialize rev_num = 0
(2) Loop while num > 0
     (a) Multiply rev_num by 10 and add remainder of num  
          divide by 10 to rev_num
               rev_num = rev_num*10 + num%10;
     (b) Divide num by 10
(3) Return rev_num

Example: 

num = 4562 
rev_num = 0
rev_num = rev_num *10 + num%10 = 2 
num = num/10 = 456
rev_num = rev_num *10 + num%10 = 20 + 6 = 26 
num = num/10 = 45
rev_num = rev_num *10 + num%10 = 260 + 5 = 265 
num = num/10 = 4
rev_num = rev_num *10 + num%10 = 2650 + 4 = 2654 
num = num/10 = 0

Program: 

C++




#include <bits/stdc++.h>
 
using namespace std;
/* Iterative function to reverse digits of num*/

{
    int rev_num = 0;

        rev_num = rev_num * 10 + num % 10;
        num = num / 10;
    }
    return rev_num;
}
 
/*Driver program to test reversDigits*/
int main()
{
    int num = 4562;
    cout << "Reverse of no. is " << reversDigits(num);
    getchar();
    return 0;

        num = num / 10;
    }
    return rev_num;
}
 
/*Driver program to test reversDigits*/

}

            num = num / 10;

    }
 
    // Driver code

    document.write("Reverse of no. is "

// This code is contributed

</script>
Output
Reverse of no. is 2654
Time Complexity: O(log(n)) where n is the input number.
Using String in java
We will convert the number to a string using StringBuffer after this, we will reverse that string using the reverse() method 
corner case 
Input: 32100
So for the above input if we try to solve this by reversing the string, then the output will be 00123.
So to deal with this situation we again need to convert the string to integer so that our output will be 123
Java



// Java program to reverse a number
 
public class GFG {
    static int reversDigits(int num)
    {
        // converting number to string
        StringBuffer string
            = new StringBuffer(String.valueOf(num));
 
        // reversing the string
        string.reverse();
 
        // converting string to integer
        num = Integer.parseInt(String.valueOf(string));
 
        // returning integer
        return num;
    }
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        int num = 4562;
        System.out.println("Reverse of no. is "
                           + reversDigits(num));
    }
}
Output
Reverse of no. is 2654

Reverse digits of an integer with overflow handled
Note that the above program doesn’t consider leading zeroes. For example, for 100 programs will print 1. If you want to print 001 then see this comment from Maheshwar.
Try extensions of above functions that should also work for floating-point numbers.
