Title: need help please.... with turbo C
Post by: Flux on September 04, 2009, 05:44:17 AM

guys i need help... my teacher wanted us to make a program that gets a name 50 letters and displays it backwards like level=level and prints whether it is a palindrome or not
here it is


 create a C program called palindrome(), that will ask the user to enter a word.  Then the program will change the word entered in its reverse order.  If the Word in reverse form is still the same word, then it is a palindrome, otherwise it is not a palindrome.

sample output:

Enter a Word:  Level
level is a palindrome


Enter a Word: Hello
olleh is not a palindrome

thats so easy

Code: [Select]

int palindrome(char *input){
char buffer[49],buffer2[49];
strcpy(buffer, input);
strcpy(buffer2, input);
strrev(buffer);
if(strcmp(buffer, buffer2) == 0){return (1);}
return (0);
}
returns 1 if it is a palindrome and 0 if it is not
