Answers for "How do you check if a given string is a palindrome"

check if a string is palindrome cpp

// Check whether the string is a palindrome or not.
#include <bits/stdc++.h>

using namespace std;

int main(){
    string s;
    cin >> s;
    
    int l = 0;
    int h = s.length()-1;

    while(h > l){
        if(s[l++] != s[h--]){
            cout << "Not a palindrome" << endl;
            return 0;
        }
    }
    cout << "Is a palindrome" << endl;
    return 0;

}

reads the string in then determines if the string is a palindrome.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
 
// Iterative function to check if given string is a palindrome or not
bool isPalindrome(string str)
{
    int low = 0;
    int high = str.length() - 1;
 
    while (low < high)
    {
        // if mismatch happens
        if (str[low] != str[high])
            return false;
 
        low++;
        high--;
    }
 
    return true;
}
 
int main()
{
    string str = "XYXYX";
 
    if (isPalindrome(str))
        cout << "Palindrome";
    else
        cout << "Not Palindrome";
 
    return 0;
}

check if palindrome

function isPalindrome(str) {
  str = str.toLowerCase();
  return str === str.split("").reverse().join("");
}

reads the string in then determines if the string is a palindrome.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
 
// Recursive function to check if str[low..high] is a palindrome or not
bool isPalindrome(string str, int low, int high)
{
    // base case
    if (low >= high)
        return true;
 
    // return false if mismatch happens
    if (str[low] != str[high])
        return false;
 
    // move to next the pair
    return isPalindrome(str, low + 1, high - 1);
}
 
int main()
{
    string str = "XYBYBYX";
    int len = str.length();
 
    if (isPalindrome(str, 0, len - 1))
        cout << "Palindrome";
    else
        cout << "Not Palindrome";
 
    return 0;
}
