Re: [Dev-C++] trying to write a program which determines an integer as palindrome or not

[Per W. <pw...@ia...>]

pow() isn't a very good function to use, since it is using floating point.
Floating point and integer arithmetic should be kept apart unless there is
really a very strong reason for mixing them.

Note also that pow() is a bit expensive function. I would assume that the
question here is to sift through large number of primes to locate
palindromes.

For a lot of programming experience with palindromes and other similar
things, see: http://www.mathschallenge.net/index.php?section=project
