palindrome c++ efficient code example

Example: palindrome c++

#include<iostream>
#include<string>
#include<algorithm>
bool IsPalindrome_true_false(const std::string& );
int main ()
{
    
    std::cout<<"Please enter a string:\t";
    std::string str;
    getline(std::cin, str);
    
    // convert the string from uppercase to lowercase 
    int i = 0;
    while(str[i])
    {
        if(str[i] == std::toupper(str[i]) && std::isalpha(str[i]) == 1024)
        str[i]+= 32;
        ++i;
    }
    // looping while string is empty 
    while(str.empty())
    {

    }
    
    std::cout<<"\n"<<std::boolalpha<<IsPalindrome_true_false(str)<<std::endl;
    std::cout<<std::endl;

}

// check if string is a palindrome and return true or false
