Palindromes are fascinating linguistic constructs that have intrigued minds for
centuries. In simple terms, a palindrome is a word, phrase, number, or other
sequences of characters that reads the same forward and backward. In the realm of
programming, creating a program to determine whether a given string or number is
a palindrome is a classic exercise. In this section, we will explore how to create a
palindrome program in Java, breaking down the process step by step.
What is a Palindrome?
As mentioned earlier, a palindrome is a sequence of characters that reads the same
backward as forward.
Examples of Palindrome
radar, level, madam, 12321, and A man, a plan, a canal, Panama!
Reverse the Input: Next, we reverse the input string or number. It can be done using
various techniques, such as looping through the characters or using built-in functions.
Comparison: After reversing the input, we compare it with the original input. If both
are the same, then the input is a palindrome; otherwise, it's not.
Output: Finally, we display the result to the user, informing them whether the input
is a palindrome or not.
We can use any of the following ways to check if the string or word is palindrome or
not.
1. Using Iteration
2. Using Recursion
3. Using StringBuilder Class
4. Using for Loop and charAt() Method
