C Palindrome problem
Its output is always "not palindrome".Code:#include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> #include <conio.h> int main() { char x[26]; char y[26]; clrscr(); printf("Enter String: \n"); fgets( x, 26, stdin); strcpy( y, x); strrev( y ); if (strcmp( y, x) == 0) printf("%s is palindrome", x); else printf("%s is not palindrome", x); getch(); return 0; }
It works on gets() but I want to use fgets() instead.
Help please. Anyone?
Don't forget that strcmp is case sensitive... If you put in "Bob" it's not a palendrome but "bob" is. To avoid the problem you can use strupper() to make sure it's all upper case before reversing...
Take note that strrev(), strupper() are non-standard function.
i think fgets()
is used to get a file....also a string....try only with gets ....cos fgets() has a lot of code writtern behind it(same is the case with scanf() )
The thing about fgets() is that it appends \n to the buffer if there is room to add it.
For simple cases, the palindrome of "bob\n" would be "\nbob", but that can never be a valid result from fgets().
See the FAQ for how to remove the \n from a buffer returned by fgets()
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
I see, Thank you guys. You all have been helpful, I'll get back if I came up with something. Cheers.
