Given a string, check if it is Colindrome or not. A string is said to be colindrome if it has consecutive 3 alphabets followed by the reverse of these 3 alphabets and so on. Examples :

Input : cappaccappac
Output : String is colindrome

Input : mollomaappaa 
Output : String is Colindrome

Approach : Take two empty strings s1 and s2, and start iterating over the given string. Take first three letters of the string and store it in s1, next three chars in s2 and then match s1 and s2. If they are same then do the same again till length of the given string else return false. 

C++




// CPP program to check if a
// string is Colindrome or not
#include<bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
bool colindrome(string str)
{
if(str.size()<=3 || str.size()%3!=0)
    return false;
int i = 0,j=i+3;
while(j<str.size())
{
    string temp =str.substr(j,3);
    reverse(temp.begin(),temp.end());
    cout<<str.substr(i,3)<<" "<<temp<<endl;
    if(str.substr(i,3)!=temp)
    return false;
    i+=6;
    j+=6;
}
return true;
}
  
// Driver Code
int main()
{   
    // Input string
    string s = "cbbbbc";
      
    if(colindrome(s))
        cout<<"String is colindrome\n";
    else
        cout<<"Not colindrome";
          
    return 0;
}


Java




// Java code to check if a given string is Colindrome.

        int i1 = 0;
        for (int i = 0; i < s.length(); i++) {
            int i2 = i1 + 3;
  
            // Taking two empty Strings
            String s1 = "";
            String s2 = "";
            int c1 = 0, c2 = 0;

            }
  
            // Checks equality of two strings
            if (s1.equals(s3) != true) {
                // If the two Strings are not same then return false
                return false;
            }
  
            // Increment first variable by 6 and second variable by 3
            i1 = i1 + 6;
            i2 = i2 + 3;
