Question

Assignment 2 - C++ Palindrome Description The challenge for this second assignment is to develop a program, called palindrome.cpp, capable of detecting palindromes. A palindrome is a word, phrase, or sequence that reads the same backward as forward. Your program should take input from stdin and determine whether the characters formulate a palindrome Requirements The following functions should be defined: bool isPalindrome (string text) Example $/palindrome Enter Text: bob The word "bob" is a palindrome. Enter Text: A car, a man,a maraca The phrase "A car, a man, a maraca" is a palindrome. Enter Text: slow The word "slow" is not a palindrome. Enter Text: quit Due: January 29th, 2017 11:59 PM

Explanation / Answer

#include <iostream>
#include <conio.h>
#include <string>
#include <cctype>

using namespace std;

bool isPalindrome (string str);

int main()
{
string word;

string str;

cout << "Enter a word to test if it is a palindrome. ";
cin >> str;

for (int i=0; word [i] != ''; i++)
{ word[i] = tolower (word[i]); }

isPalindrome(word);

if (isPalindrome(word) == 1)
{
cout << "The word "<<str<<" is palindrome." << endl;
}
if (isPalindrome(word) == 0)
{
cout << "The word "<<str<<" is not a palindrome." << endl;
}

getch();
return 0;
}

bool isPalindrome(string str)
{
int length = str.length();

for (int i = 0; i < (length / 2); i++)
if (str[i] != str[length - 1 - i])
return false;

return true;   
}

Output:

Enter Text: madam

The word madam is a palindrome.

Enter Text: hai

The word hai is not a palindrome.
