Write a C program to check for palindromes

Method1


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

void isPalindrome(char *string);

int main()
{
isPalindrome("avon sees nova");
isPalindrome("a");
isPalindrome("avon sies nova");
isPalindrome("aa");
isPalindrome("abc");
isPalindrome("aba");
isPalindrome("3a2");
exit(0);
}

void isPalindrome(char *string)
{
char *start, *end;

if(string)
{
start = string;
end = string + strlen(string) - 1;

while((*start == *end) && (start!=end))
{
if(start < end)start++;
if(end > start)end--;
}

printf("\n[%s] - This is not a palidrome!\n", string);
}
else
{
printf("\n[%s] - This is a palidrome!\n", string);
