Algorithmic Solutions for Programming Contest Problems

Given an integer, determine if it is a palindrome. The straightforward apprroach is to treat the input as a string and check if it reads the same forwards and backwards, which can be done in O(n) time where n is the length of the string. A more efficient approach uses polynomial hashing with O(n) time complexity. We'll implement both forward an ...
