This is homework, a chance for you to show that you understand. Work out the answer on paper like a normal math question then convert it to code.

To help you a little with your program, the question is "Find the largest". So would it not be quicker to work from the largest to smallest number rather than from the smallest to the largest?

I found same result in largest to smallest also...

1 solution

Hint: 101*101=10201, 111*111=12321
First use it to test if your code is correct to detect palindromes.
Advice: making a function ispalindrome() will simplify your code.

I checked my "rev" value its geting weird......what is wrong in reverse logic ?

What is the starting value of rev when you reverse a number ?
Use the debugger to watch what you do with it.

For testing purpose, change the range of values to 100-112 and use the debugger to see what your code is really doing.
-----
Your code do not behave the way you expect, or you don't understand why !

There is an almost universal solution: Run your code on debugger step by step, inspect variables.
The debugger is here to show you what your code is doing and your task is to compare with what it should do.
There is no magic in the debugger, it don't know what your code is supposed to do, it don't find bugs, it just help you to by showing you what is going on. When the code don't do what is expected, you are close to a bug.
To see what your code is doing: Just set a breakpoint and see your code performing, the debugger allow you to execute lines 1 by 1 and to inspect variables as it execute.

The downside of this solution:
- It is a DIY, you are the one tracking the problem and finding its roots, which lead to the solution.
The upside of this solution:
- It is also a great learning tool because it show you reality and you can see which expectation match reality.

secondary effects
- Your will be proud of finding bugs yourself.
- Your learning skills will improve.

You should find pretty quickly what is wrong.

The debugger is here to only show you what your code is doing and your task is to compare with what it should do.

}






System.out.println(max_product);
}

}










Give same ouput as 0.

Use Improve question to update your question.
So that everyone can pay attention to this information.
and explain problems with the code.

I checked my "rev" value its geting weird......what is wrong in reverse logic ?
