I try to print reverse of the entering number without any for loop. But I've got some issues with printing the Arraylist. How can I print the Arraylist [3, 5, 4, 1] as 3541 - without brackets, commas and spaces?

If not possible, how can I add my ArrayList elements to stringlist then print?

public static void main(String[] args) {

    int yil, bolum = 0, kalan;
    Scanner klavye = new Scanner(System.in);
    ArrayList liste = new ArrayList();
    //String listeStr = new String();
    System.out.println("Yıl Girin: "); // enter the 1453
    yil = klavye.nextInt();

    do{ // process makes 1453 separate then write in the arraylist like that [3, 5, 4,1]

        kalan = yil % 10;
        liste.add(kalan);
        bolum = yil / 10;
        yil = bolum;

    }while( bolum != 0 );

    System.out.println("Sayının Tersi: " + ....); //reverse of the 1453
    klavye.close();
}

why do you need to avoid the for loop?? – jlordo Oct 22 '12 at 17:15
You can read in String instead of number (or you can convert from int to String) and use StringBuilder reverse(). – nhahtdh Oct 22 '12 at 17:17

        yil = bolum;

    } while (bolum != 0);

    System.out.println("Sayının Tersi: " + s ); //reverse of the 1453

Thank you so much! – android93 Oct 22 '12 at 17:30

StringBuilder would be better here for appending characters but this seems to be most appropriate to solve the overall FIFO problem here so +1! – Reimeus Oct 22 '12 at 17:35

  • Read the entry as a String
  • Reverse it with String reverse = new StringBuilder(input).reverse().toString();
  • Optional: parse it to an int if you need to do some calculations with that int.

[1,23] will become 321 insted of 231. I think tht ws the intented output. – Christian Kuetbach Oct 22 '12 at 17:25
My understanding is that the user enters one number (1453 in the given example) and the goal is to reverse that number (to 3541 in the given example). I might have misunderstood. – assylias Oct 22 '12 at 17:26
but, wht is, if one of the numbers lrger than 9? I think that is not clear. – Christian Kuetbach Oct 22 '12 at 17:28

List strings = ...
List stringsRevers = Collections.reverse(strings);
// Have to reverse the input
// 1,23 -> 231 
// otherwise it would be 321   
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuiler();
for(String s: stringsRevers ){
    sb.ppend(s);
}
String out = sb.toString();

- Reverse can be easily obtained using Collections.reverse(List<?> l)

Eg:

ArrayList<String> aList = new ArrayList<String>();

Collections.reverse(aList);

- Use For-Each loop to print it out.

Eg:

for(String l : aList){

    System.out.print(l);

}
