Welcome to C++ Project 7 - Palindrome Checker

This project will guide you through creating a palindrome checker in C++ that checks if a given string is a palindrome.

Hardware Setup

Ensure you have the following hardware components:

A computer with internet access.
A keyboard and mouse for typing and navigation.

Software Requirements

Here are the software tools you'll need for this project:

Visual Studio Code or CLion - These are popular Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) for C++ development.
GCC or Visual Studio - Required to compile and run C++ programs.

Knowledge Prerequisites

To successfully complete this project, you should be familiar with the following concepts:

Basic understanding of C++ syntax.
Understanding of strings and basic input and output operations in C++.

Project Steps:

Done

Download and install Visual Studio Code or CLion.
Ensure you have a C++ compiler installed. For example, you can install GCC or use the built-in compiler in Visual Studio.

Done

Open your chosen IDE (Visual Studio Code or CLion).
Create a new file named palindrome_checker.cpp.

Done

Open the palindrome_checker.cpp file in your IDE.

Type the following code:


#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <algorithm>

using namespace std;

bool isPalindrome(string str) {
    string original = str;
    reverse(str.begin(), str.end());
    return original == str;
}

int main() {
    string input;
    cout << "Enter a string to check if it's a palindrome: ";
    getline(cin, input);

    if (isPalindrome(input)) {
        cout << input << " is a palindrome." << endl;
    } else {
        cout << input << " is not a palindrome." << endl;
    }

    return 0;
}

Save the file.

Done

Open the terminal in your IDE and navigate to the directory containing palindrome_checker.cpp.
Type the following command to compile your application:
```
g++ palindrome_checker.cpp -o palindrome_checker
```
Type the following command to run your application:
```
./palindrome_checker
```
Enter a string and see if it is identified as a palindrome.
