Reverses a number.
|
|
|
|
- Use `str()` to convert the number to a string, slice notation to reverse it and `str.replace()` to remove the sign.
|
|
- Use `float()` to convert the result to a number and `math.copysign()` to copy the original sign.
|
|
|
|
```py
|
|
from math import copysign
|
|
|
|
def reverse_number(n):
|
|
return copysign(float(str(n)[::-1].replace('-', '')), n)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```py
|
|
reverse_number(981) # 189
|
|
reverse_number(-500) # -5
|
|
reverse_number(73.6) # 6.37
|
|
reverse_number(-5.23) # -32.5
|
|
```
