check if it is a palindrome. code example
Example 1: Write a function that tests whether a string is a palindrome
def palindrome_check(string):
string = list(string)
tmp = []
#remove any spaces
for x in range(0, len(string)):
if(string[x] != " "):
tmp.append(string[x].lower())
#now reverse the string
array1 = []
i = 0
j = len(tmp)-1
while(i < len(tmp)):
array1.append(tmp[j])
i += 1
j -= 1
#check if array1 is equal to the string
counter = 0
for x in range(0, len(tmp)):
if(tmp[x] == array1[x]):
counter += 1
#if the counter is equal to the length of the string then the word
#is the same
if(counter == len(tmp)):
return True
return False
Example 2: determine whether integer is a palindrome
public class Solution {
public bool IsPalindrome(int x) {
if(x < 0 || (x % 10 == 0 && x != 0)) {
return false;
}
int revertedNumber = 0;
while(x > revertedNumber) {
revertedNumber = revertedNumber * 10 + x % 10;
x /= 10;
}
return x == revertedNumber || x == revertedNumber/10;
}
}
