Check Palindrome and Reverse String in C

✅ Check Palindrome and Reverse a String in C

#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>

// Function to check if string is palindrome
int pal(char str[]) {
    int left = 0, right = strlen(str) - 1;
    while (left < right) {
        if (str[left] != str[right]) {
            printf("No, Entered string is not a palindrome.\\n");
            return 0;
        }
        left++;
        right--;
    }
    printf("Yes, Entered string is a palindrome.\\n");
    return 1;
}

// Function to reverse the string
void reverse(char str[]) {
    int start = 0, end = strlen(str) - 1;
    while (start < end) {
        char temp = str[start];
        str[start] = str[end];
        str[end] = temp;
        start++;
        end--;
    }
}

int main() {
    char str[100];
    printf("Enter the string:\\n");
    scanf(" %[^\n]", str);

    printf("Before Reversing: %s\\n", str);
    pal(str);              // Check palindrome before reversing
    reverse(str);
    printf("After Reversing: %s\\n", str);

    return 0;
}
  

📘 Explanation:

✅ This program reads a string from the user.
✅ It first checks whether the input string is a palindrome by comparing characters from both ends.
✅ If the string is not a palindrome, it notifies the user.
✅ Then it reverses the string using a two-pointer method and prints the reversed result.
✅ It uses strlen, scanf, and character swapping.

🧾 Sample Output:

Enter the string:
madam
Before Reversing: madam
Yes, Entered string is a palindrome.
After Reversing: madam
