Given an integer n, print out n * reversed(n)

reversed(n) is the number you get when you reverse the digits of n.


reverse(512) = 215

reverse(1) = 1

reverse(101) = 101

>>>>>>>>

func(5) = 5*5 = 25

func(12) = 12*21 = 252

func(11) = 11*11 = 121

func(659) = 659*956 = 630004

In 05AB1E, integers and strings are treated as equivalent types, so reversal (R) converts to string and reverses, whilst multiplication (*) treats the reverse and the input as integers.

><>, 41 39 Bytes

:&>:a%:}-\
/~\?)0:,a/
>l1-?\&*n;
\ +*a/

How it works:

:&

Assume input has been pushed to the stack (https://codegolf.meta.stackexchange.com/a/8493/76025). Duplicate it and store a copy in the register.

   >:a%:}-\
   \?)0:,a/

Converts this to its individual digits, leaving them on the stack.

/~
>l1-?\
\ +*a/

The top value will always be a zero due to the number-to-digit conversion process; drop it from the stack. Now, while the length is >1, multiply the first item by ten and add it to the item below it. This results in the number reversed.

      &*n;

Multiply the original number by the reverse, print the answer, and stop.
