PROGRAM TO CHECK WHETHER A WORD IS PALINDROME OR NOT

PROGRAM TO CHECK WHETHER THE GIVEN WORD IS PALINDROME OR ONLY A SPECIAL WORD USING INPUT BY THE USER.

WHAT IS A PALINDROME WORD?

Palindrome words are those words which read the same from left to right and vice-versa. 

eg,. MADAM, ROTATOR, MALAYALAM etc.

whereas a special words are those words which start and ends with the same letter. 

eg,. EXISTENCE, COMIC, WINDOW etc.

The following program demonstrates the above explained points:

import java.util.*;

class p

{

    public static void main(String args[])

    {

        Scanner ob = new Scanner (System.in);

        System.out.println("enter a word");

        String s = ob.next();

        String rev = "";

        for(int i= s.length()-1; i >= 0; i--)

        {

            char ch = s.charAt(i);

            rev = rev +ch;

        }

        if(s.equalsIgnoreCase(rev))

        {

            System.out.println(s+ " is a Palindrome word");

        }

        else if (s.charAt(0) == s.charAt(s.length()-1))

        {

            System.out.println(s+"is only a special word");

        }

    }

}
