palindrome string 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: check if palindrome

function isPalindrome(str) {
  str = str.toLowerCase();
  return str === str.split("").reverse().join("");
}

Example 3: reads the string in then determines if the string is a palindrome.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
 
// Iterative function to check if given string is a palindrome or not
bool isPalindrome(string str)
{
    int low = 0;
    int high = str.length() - 1;
 
    while (low < high)
    {
        // if mismatch happens
        if (str[low] != str[high])
            return false;
 
        low++;
        high--;
    }
 
    return true;
}
 
int main()
{
    string str = "XYXYX";
 
    if (isPalindrome(str))
        cout << "Palindrome";
    else
        cout << "Not Palindrome";
 
    return 0;
}

Example 4: 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;
}

Example 5: reads the string in then determines if the string is a palindrome.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
 
// Recursive function to check if str[low..high] is a palindrome or not
bool isPalindrome(string str, int low, int high)
{
    // base case
    if (low >= high)
        return true;
 
    // return false if mismatch happens
    if (str[low] != str[high])
        return false;
 
    // move to next the pair
    return isPalindrome(str, low + 1, high - 1);
}
 
int main()
{
    string str = "XYBYBYX";
    int len = str.length();
 
    if (isPalindrome(str, 0, len - 1))
        cout << "Palindrome";
    else
        cout << "Not Palindrome";
 
    return 0;
}
