Thread: Palindrome program not working

I had to look that up ,,

Palindrome, Palindrome Words List, Longest Examples, Define Palindrome

Palindrome List – Palindromes, Palindrome Words, Examples

so what is the basis of comparison to find one? Because by taking a 'd' it says it is, then by using an example in that list I get nope.

Code:

userx@slackwhere:~/bin
$ ./temp
d
d
is a palindrome.userx@slackwhere:~/bin
$ ./temp
A car, a man, a maraca.
helloacaramanamaraca
is not a palindrome.userx@slackwhere:~/bin
$

Plus you have no lead in message telling the user what to do. If I did not read the code and what you said to do in your explanation in here then I'd be lost.

id try flipping your if else around then run a few more different ones to see what that does.

Code:

 if(s==string(s.rbegin(),s.rend()))
         cout<<s<<"\nis not a palindrome.\n";
  else     
         cout<<s<<"\nis a palindrome.\n";

Code:

userx@slackwhere:~/bin
$ ./temp
A car, a man, a maraca.
acaramanamaraca
is a palindrome.
userx@slackwhere:~/bin

it might be that return value that is causing this effect, I do not know what it is.

You are still inserting characters you don't want they are just all \0 now. It would be better to not insert them at all.
