Palindromes
Problem Description
Write a program to determine whether a word is a palindrome. A palindrome is a sequence of characters that is identical to the string when the characters are placed in reverse order. For example, the following strings are palindromes:
“ABCCBA”, “A”, and “AMA”. The following strings are not palindromes: “HELLO”, “ABAB” and “PPA”.
Input
The input file will consist of up to 100 lines, where each line contains at least 1 and at most 52 characters. Your program should stop processing the input when the input string equals “STOP”. You may assume that input file consists
of exclusively uppercase letters; no lowercase letters, punctuation marks, digits, or whitespace will be included within each word.
Output
A single line of output should be generated for each string. The line should include “#”, followed by the problem number, followed by a colon and a space, followed by the string “YES” or “NO”.
Sample Input
ABCCBA A HELLO ABAB AMA ABAB PPA STOP
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
char s[60];
int main()
{
int k=1;
while(gets(s),strcmp(s,"STOP")!=0)
{
int i,j,len;
len=strlen(s);
for(i=0;i<len/2;i++)
{
if(s[i]!=s[len-1-i])
break;
}
printf("#%d: ",k++);
if(i>=len/2)
printf("YES\n");
else
printf("NO\n");
}
return 0;
}
Sample Output
#1: YES #2: YES #3: NO #4: NO #5: YES #6: NO #7: NO
