Current Solution

#include <charconv>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <format>
#include <iostream>
#include <optional>
#include <string_view>

[[noreturn]] void usage() {
    std::cerr << "Usage: please input a non-negative integer\n";

               : std::nullopt;
}

constexpr bool is_palindrome(int n) {
    int original = n;
    int reversed = 0;

    while (n > 0) {
        reversed = reversed * 10 + (n % 10);
        n /= 10;
    }

    return reversed == original;
}

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
    if (argc != 2) usage();

    if (auto n = to_nonnegative_int(argv[1]); n) {
        int original = *n;
        int reversed = 0;

        while (original > 0) {
            reversed = reversed * 10 + (original % 10);
            original /= 10;
        }

        std::cout << std::format("{}\n", reversed == *n);
    } else {
        usage();
    }
}
