Java Program to Check the String for Palindrome1 min read

Palindrome: A string is said to be in a Palindrome if it remains the same when its elements are reversed or are the same as forward.

For example: 14141, 777, 272 are palindrome numbers as they remain the same even if reversed. If we take the example of ‘mam’ or ‘madam’, these are also palindrome words.

//check for the string Palindrome
 
import java.util.Scanner;
 
public class StringPalindrome
{
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
      String str1, str2= "";
      Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
      
      System.out.print("Enter the String: ");
      str1 = sc.nextLine();
      
      for(int i = str1.length() - 1; i >= 0; i--)
      {
        str2 += str1.charAt(i);
      }
      
      //equalsIgnoreCase = This method returns true if the argument is not null and
      //it represents an equivalent String ignoring case, else false
      if(str1.equalsIgnoreCase(str2))
      {
        System.out.println("The entered string is palindrome.");
      }
      else
      {
        System.out.println("The entered  string is not palindrome.");
      }
    }
}

Output:

Enter the String: Madam
The entered string is palindrome.
