C Program to Check if a Given String is Palindrome

Given a string, write a c function to check if it is palindrome or not.
A string is said to be palindrome if reverse of the string is same as string. For example, “abba” is palindrome, but “abbc” is not palindrome.

palindrome

Algorithm:
isPalindrome(str)
1) Find length of str. Let length be n.
2) Initialize low and high indexes as 0 and n-1 respectively.
3) Do following while low index ‘l’ is smaller than high index ‘h’.
…..a) If str[l] is not same as str[h], then return false.
…..b) Increment l and decrement h, i.e., do l++ and h–.
4) If we reach here, it means we didn’t find a mis

Following is C implementation to check if a given string is palindrome or not.

#include <stdio.h>

// A function to check if a string str is palindrome
void isPalindrome(char str[])
{
    // Start from leftmost and rightmost corners of str
    int l = 0;
    int h = strlen(str) - 1;
  
    // Keep comparing characters while they are same
    while (h > l)
    {
        if (str[l++] != str[h--])
        {
            printf("%s is Not Palindrome", str);
            return;
        }
    }
    printf("%s is palindrome", str);
}
  
// Driver program to test above function
int main()
{
    isPalindrome("abba");
    isPalindrome("abbccbba");
    isPalindrome("geeks");
    return 0;
}

Output: 


abba is palindrome
abbccbba is palindrome
geeks is Not Palindrome
