[Tutor] Code for checking whether an input string is a palindrome or not.

[Asrarahmed Kadri]

Hi,

Here is a code that reports whether the string is a palindrome or not. I
have posted it to help people new to programming ( i am also a newbie) to
understand the logic and comment on it.

Share and expand your knowledge as well as understanding...

Happy scripting....

Regards,
Asrar

Code:



string1 = raw_input("enter a string\n")

str_len = len(string1)



flag = 0
j = str_len-1

for i in range(0,(str_len-1)/2):
 if string1[i] == string1[j]:
  j = j-1

 else:
  flag = 1
  break
if flag ==0:
     print "The entered string is a PALINDROME"
else:
     print "The entered string is not a PALINDROME"

-- 
To HIM you shall return.
