Reverse Number and Palindrome Coding | Dataford Interview Questions

Write a program to reverse a number and check whether it is a palindrome.

Implement reverse_and_check(number) using arithmetic operations rather than converting the number to a string. Return a two-element tuple containing the reversed integer and a Boolean indicating whether the original number reads identically forward and backward.

Input and Output

Input: one non-negative integer number.
Output: (reversed_number, is_palindrome).

A number ending in zero loses that zero when reversed. Treat 0 and every single-digit number as palindromes.

Constraints

0 <= number <= 10^9
The input is an integer.
Do not convert the number to a string.

Function Signature
