Print longest palindrome word in a sentence
Given a string str, the task is to print longest palindrome word present in the string str.
Examples:
Input : Madam Arora teaches Malayalam
Output: Malayalam
Explanation: The string contains three palindrome words (i.e., Madam, Arora, Malayalam) but the length of Malayalam is greater than the other two.Input : Welcome to GeeksforGeeks
Output : No Palindrome Word
Explanation:The string does not contain any palindrome word so the output is No Palindrome Word.
Approach:
- longestPalin() function finds the longest palindrome word by extracting every word of the string and passing it to checkPalin() function. An extra space is added in the original string to extract last word.
- checkPalin() function checks if the word is palindrome. It returns true if word is palindrome else returns false. It makes sure that empty strings are not counted as palindrome as the user may enter more than one spaces in between or at the beginning of the string.
