Number Palindrome

I found an interesting number palindrome. It works with any number! It's easier with an odd number beggining, as there aren't any decimals, but anything works, even negative numbers! It works like this: Take any number and multiply it by 0. Then take (the number  minus 1) x 0.5 Then (the number minus 2) x 1, and so one, reducing a number on the left by 1 while increasing the one on the right by ½. ***Disclaimer: in negative numbers, start with  the lowest number, then go up by 1 each time, not down. You still raise the right side by ½ however.*** So the rule is really: start with the number farthest from 0 then add/subtract by 1 to get that number closer to 0 every time. The right side of the equation: rules remain the same.
