check if string contains palindrome as substring 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: find all the palindrome substring in a given string

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <unordered_set>
using namespace std;

// expand in both directions of low and high to find all palindromes
void expand(string str, int low, int high, auto &set)
{
	// run till str[low.high] is a palindrome
	while (low >= 0 && high < str.length()
			&& str[low] == str[high])
	{
		// push all palindromes into the set
		set.insert(str.substr(low, high - low + 1));

		// expand in both directions
		low--, high++;
	}
}

// Function to find all unique palindromic substrings of given string
void allPalindromicSubstrings(string str)
{
	// create an empty set to store all unique palindromic substrings
	unordered_set<string> set;

	for (int i = 0; i < str.length(); i++)
	{
		// find all odd length palindrome with str[i] as mid point
		expand(str, i, i, set);

		// find all even length palindrome with str[i] and str[i+1] as
		// its mid points
		expand(str, i, i + 1, set);
	}

	// print all unique palindromic substrings
	for (auto i : set)
		cout << i << " ";
}

int main()
{
	string str = "google";

	allPalindromicSubstrings(str);

	return 0;
}
