Check if a string is a palindrome

Question

I have a string as input and have to break the string in two substrings. If the left substring equals the right substring then do some logic.

How can I do this?

Answer 1

public static bool palindrome(string t)
    {
        int i = t.Length;
        for (int j = 0; j < i / 2; j++)
        {
            if (t[j] == t[i - j-1])
            {
                continue;
            }
            else
            {
                return false;
                break;
            }
        }
        return true;
    }

Answer 2

public Boolean IsPalindrome(string value)
{
   var one = value.ToList<char>();
   var two = one.Reverse<char>().ToList();
   return one.Equals(two);
}

Answer 3

//This c# method will check for even and odd lengh palindrome string

public static bool IsPalenDrome(string palendromeString)
        {
            bool isPalenDrome = false;

            try
            {
                int halfLength = palendromeString.Length / 2;

                string leftHalfString = palendromeString.Substring(0,halfLength);

                char[] reversedArray = palendromeString.ToCharArray();
                Array.Reverse(reversedArray);
                string reversedString = new string(reversedArray);

                string rightHalfStringReversed = reversedString.Substring(0, halfLength);

                isPalenDrome = leftHalfString == rightHalfStringReversed ? true : false;
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                throw ex;
            }

            return isPalenDrome;
        }

    public  bool MojTestPalindrome (string word)
    {
        bool yes = false;

        char[]test1 = word.ToArray();
        char[] test2 = test1.Reverse().ToArray();
        for (int i=0; i< test2.Length; i++)
        {

            if (test1[i] != test2[test2.Length - 1 - i])
            {

                yes = false;
                break;

            }
            else {   
                yes = true;


            }
        }
        if (yes == true)
        {
            return true;
        }
        else

            return false;                
    }

Answer 5

If you just need to detect a palindrome, you can do it with a regex, as explained here. Probably not the most efficient approach, though...

Answer 6

String extension method, easy to use:

    public static bool IsPalindrome(this string str)
    {
        str = new Regex("[^a-zA-Z]").Replace(str, "").ToLower();
        return !str.Where((t, i) => t != str[str.Length - i - 1]).Any();
    }
