    Default reversing number without using while

    Hello guys, i have to write a program which deals with reversing number and i need to solve it without using the while statement.
    the program conditions is to get a number from the user between 100 and 999 and the first digit of the number and the last digit of the
    number, can't be the same.
    and my task is to reverse that number, but without using the "while" statement.
    e.g. "reverse the number 486" ------> the reversed number is 684.

    Thank you all!

    Do you have a specific question? And you haven't shown what you have done thus far.

    Yes! And I am assuming it's not just a while statement but using any loop at all (e.g. a for loop).

    Yes. That is one way to do it. But let me throw in a snag. If you have the number 290 do you need to show 092 or just 92? Leading zeroes in an integer are ignored upon printout so that would be need to taken care of depending on the requirement.

    no, i need to reverse the whole number, zero is allowed to be the first digit e.g. 250---->025
