Longest Palindrome in an Array

Here, in this page we will discuss the program to find the longest palindrome in an array in python programming language, we will discuss two different methods to find the longest palindromic element in the given array.

 

Here in this page we will discuss the following methods to find the longest palindromic number.

  • Method 1 : Using Naive Approach
  • Method 2 : Using Sorting

Method 1 :

  • Create a function ispalindrome(int n), it will return 1 if the passing number is palindrome otherwise return 0.
  • Inside the main function, create a variable say res = -1, that hold the maximum palindrome number.
  • Run a loop from [0, n),  and check if(ispalindrome(arr[i]) && res<arr[i]), then set res = arr[i].
  • Print the value of res.

Method 1 : Code in Python

Run 
# Function to check if n is palindrome
def isPalindrome(n):

   divisor = 1
   while (int(n / divisor) >= 10):
      divisor *= 10

   while (n != 0):
      leading = int(n / divisor)
      trailing = n % 10
  
      if (leading != trailing):
        return False

      n = int((n % divisor) / 10)

      divisor = int(divisor / 100)
   return True

# Function to find the largest palindromic element
def largestPalindrome(arr, n):
   currentMax = -1

   for i in range(0, n, 1):
      if (arr[i] > currentMax and isPalindrome(arr[i])):
         currentMax = arr[i]

   return currentMax

# Driver Code

arr = [1, 232, 5545455, 909090, 161]
n = len(arr)

# print required answer
print(largestPalindrome(arr, n))

Output

5545455

Method 2 :

In this method we first sort the array and then start traversing the array from end, and return the element that satisfy the condition, that it is palindrome.

  • Sort the array using inbuilt sort() function.
  • Start traversing from end of the array,
  • Print the element if it is palindrome.
  • If no element found then print -1.

Method 2 : Code in Python

Run 
# Function to check if n is palindrome
def isPalindrome(n):

   divisor = 1
   while (int(n / divisor) >= 10):
      divisor *= 10

   while (n != 0):
      leading = int(n / divisor)
      trailing = n % 10
  
      if (leading != trailing):
        return False

      n = int((n % divisor) / 10)

      divisor = int(divisor / 100)
   return True

# Function to find the largest palindromic element
def largestPalindrome(A, n) :
    # Sort the array
    A.sort()

    for i in range(n - 1, -1, -1) :
        # If number is palindrome
        if (isPalindrome(A[i])) :
            return A[i]    

    # If no palindromic number found
    return -1

# Driver Code 
arr = [1, 232, 5545455, 909090, 161]
n = len(arr) 
# print required answer 
print(largestPalindrome(arr, n))

Output

5545455
