Question

A palindrome is a phrase that reads the same both forward and backward. Write a C++ program that reads a line from cin, prints its characters in reverse on cout, and then pronounces judgement on whether the input line is a palindrome. For example, here are two sample runs of the program :

Enter string : able was I ere I saw elba

able was I ere I saw elba

is a palindrome.

Enter string: madam I'm adam

madam I'm adam

is not a palindrome

Hint: Use the substr function within a loop to extract and print the characters one by one from the string, starting at the end of the string; at the same time, extract the corresponding character starting at the beginning of the string to compare with it.

Use a prompting message, meaningful variable names, proper indentation, and appropriate comments.

please rate - thanks

#include<iostream>
#include<string>
using namespace std;
bool isPalindrome( string& );
int main()
{string input;
bool palin;
int i;
cout<<"Enter a string: ";
getline(cin,input);
palin=isPalindrome(input);
if(palin)
   cout<<input<<" is a Palindrome ";
else
    cout<<input<<" is not a Palindrome ";

system("pause");
return 0;
}
bool isPalindrome(string& input)
{int i=0;
bool y=false;
string::size_type j=input.length()-1;
while(input.substr(i,1).compare(input.substr(j,1))==0&&i<=j)
      {do{
       i++;
       }while(!isalpha(input[i]));
       do
       {
       j--;
       }while(!isalpha(input[j]));
       }
if(i>j)
    y=true;
return y;
}
