c palindrome program, c program for palindrome

C program for palindrome or palindrome in c programming: palindrome

program in c language, c code to check if a string is a palindrome or not and
for palindrome number. This program works as follows :- at first we copy
the entered string into a new string, and then we reverse the new string and
then compares it with original string. If both of them have same sequence
of characters i.e. they are identical then the entered string is a palindrome
otherwise not. To perform copy, reverse and compare operations we use
strcpy, strrev and strcmp functions of string.h respectively, if you do not
wish to use these functions see c programming code for palindrome without
using string functions. Some palindrome strings examples are "dad",
"radar", "madam" etc.
C program for palindrome
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
main()
{
char a[100], b[100];
printf("Enter the string to check if it is a palindrome\n");
gets(a);
strcpy(b,a);
strrev(b);
if( strcmp(a,b) == 0 )
printf("Entered string is a palindrome.\n");
else
printf("Entered string is not a palindrome.\n");
return 0;
}
