We have already discussed the simple method to reverse a number in this post. In this post we will discuss about how to reverse a number using stack.
The idea to do this is to extract digits of the number and push the digits on to a stack. Once all of the digits of the number are pushed to the stack, we will start poping the contents of stack one by one and form a number.
As stack is a LIFO data structure, digits of the newly formed number will be in reverse order.
Below is the implementation of above idea:

C++

// CPP program to reverse the number
// using a stack
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Stack to maintain order of digits
stack <int> st;
 
// Function to push digits into stack
void push_digits(int number)
{
    while (number != 0)
    {
        st.push(number % 10);
        number = number / 10;
    }
}
 
// Function to reverse the number
int reverse_number(int number)
{
    // Function call to push number's
    // digits to stack
    push_digits(number);
     
    int reverse = 0;
    int i = 1;
     
    // Popping the digits and forming
    // the reversed number
    while (!st.empty())
    {
        reverse = reverse + (st.top() * i);
        st.pop();
        i = i * 10;
    }
     
    // Return the reversed number formed
    return reverse;
}
 
// Driver program to test above function
int main()
{
    int number = 39997;
     
    // Function call to reverse number
    cout << reverse_number(number);
     
    return 0;
}

Java

// Java program to reverse the number
// using a stack
import java.util.Stack;
 
public class GFG
{
    // Stack to maintain order of digits
    static Stack<Integer> st= new Stack<>();
 
    // Function to push digits into stack
    static void push_digits(int number)
    {
        while(number != 0)
        {
            st.push(number % 10);
            number = number / 10;
        }
    }
 
    // Function to reverse the number
    static int reverse_number(int number)
    {
        // Function call to push number's
        // digits to stack
        push_digits(number);
        int reverse = 0;
        int i = 1;
 
        // Popping the digits and forming
        // the reversed number
        while (!st.isEmpty())
        {
            reverse = reverse + (st.peek() * i);
            st.pop();
            i = i * 10;
        }
 
        // Return the reversed number formed
        return reverse;
    }
 
    // Driver program to test above function
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        int number = 39997;
        System.out.println(reverse_number(number));
    }
}

Output:

Time Complexity: O( logN )
Auxiliary Space: O( logN ), Where N is the input number.
