Trying to do this in C++
Question 2: A palindrome is a word, which reads the same backward or forward. For example, noon, civic, radar, level, rotor, kayak, reviver, racecar, redder, madam, and refer are all palindromes a. Implement a function: bool isPalindrome (string str) This function is given a string str containing a word, and returns true if and only if str is a palindrome. b. Write a program that reads a word from the user and announces to the user if it is a palindrome or not. Your program should interact with the user exactly as it shows in the following example: Please enter a word: leve evel is a palindromeExplanation / Answer
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
bool isPalindrome(string str){
bool flag = true;
int length = str.length();
//this loop matches first and last character, second and second last char and so on,
//if matching fails, it returns false
for(int i=0; i < length; i++){
if(str[i] != str[length-i-1]){
flag = false;
break;
}
}
return flag;
}
int main()
{
string word;
cout << "Please enter a word : " ;
cin >> word;
//calling isPalindrome function
bool test = isPalindrome(word);
if(test){
cout << word << " is a palindrome";
}
else
{
cout << word << " is not a palindrome";
}
return 0;
}
