How to find out all palindromic numbers

Question

A palindromic number or numeral palindrome is a \"symmetrical\" number like 16461, that remains the same when its digits are reversed.

The term palindromic is derive

Answer 1

Generating all palindromes up to a specific limit.

public static Set allPalindromic(int limit) {

    Set result = new HashSet();

    for (int i = 0; i <= 9 && i <= limit; i++)
        result.add(i);

    boolean cont = true;
    for (int i = 1; cont; i++) {
        StringBuffer rev = new StringBuffer("" + i).reverse();
        cont = false;
        for (String d : ",0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9".split(",")) {
            int n = Integer.parseInt("" + i + d + rev);
            if (n <= limit) {
                cont = true;
                result.add(n);
            }
        }
    }

    return result;
}

Testing for palindromicity

Using Strings

public static boolean isPalindromic(String s, int i, int j) {
    return j - i < 1 || s.charAt(i) == s.charAt(j) && isPalindromic(s,i+1,j-1);
}

public static boolean isPalindromic(int i) {
    String s = "" + i;
    return isPalindromic(s, 0, s.length() - 1);
}

Using integers

public static boolean isPalindromic(int i) {
    int len = (int) Math.ceil(Math.log10(i+1));
    for (int n = 0; n < len / 2; n++)
        if ((i / (int) Math.pow(10, n)) % 10 !=
            (i / (int) Math.pow(10, len - n - 1)) % 10)
            return false;
    return true;
}
