Print all funny words in a string

We are given a sentence. Our task is to print all funny words/strings in that sentence.

What is a funny word ?

Reverse the given string. Iterate through each character of that string, compare the absolute difference in the ASCII values of the characters at positions 0 and 1, 1 and 2, 2 and 3 and so on to the end. If the list of absolute differences is the same for both strings, they are funny otherwise not.

Examples:

Input : HKMNPS
Output : HKMNPS
Explanation:
Let r be the reverse of original string s
s = “HKMNPS”
r = “SPNMKH”
|H-K| = 3 = |S-P|
|K-M| = 2 = |P-N|
|M-N| = 1 = |N-M|
|N-P| = 2 = |M-K|
|P-S| = 3 = |K-H|
Since each comparison is equal so given string is funny
Input : bdwy
Output : bdwy

NOTE: Every palindrome string is a funny string but not vice-versa.

The idea is to split the string into words. For every word, traverse it from both ends and compare differences between adjacent characters.

Implementation:

C++

// C++ program to print all
// funny words in a string
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
bool checkFunny(string word)
{
    int i = 1;
    int j = word.length() - 2;
    for (int i = 0; i < word.length(); i++)
        word[i] = tolower(word[i]);
 
    while (i <= j) {
        if (abs(word[i] - word[i - 1])
            != abs(word[j] - word[j + 1]))
            return false;
        i++;
        j--;
    }
    return true;
}
 
void printFunnyWords(string str)
{
 
    // to extract last word of sentence
    str += " ";
 
    // to word stores each word of sentence
    string word = "";
 
    for (int i = 0; i < str.length(); i++) {
        char ch = str[i];
 
        // extracting each word
        if (ch != ' ')
            word += ch;
        else {
            if (checkFunny(word))
                cout << word << endl;
            word = "";
        }
    }
    if (word != "") {
        if (checkFunny(word))
            cout << word << endl;
    }
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    printFunnyWords(
        "Miss Arora teaches us malayalam bdwy");
 
    return 0;
}
