Check string for palindrome

Question

A palindrome is a word, phrase, number or other sequence of units that can be read the same way in either direction.

To check whether a word is a palindrome I get th

Answer 1

here, checking for the largest palindrome in a string, always starting from 1st char.

public static String largestPalindromeInString(String in) {
    int right = in.length() - 1;
    int left = 0;
    char[] word = in.toCharArray();
    while (right > left && word[right] != word[left]) {
        right--;
    }
    int lenght = right + 1;
    while (right > left && word[right] == word[left]) {

        left++;
        right--;

    }
    if (0 >= right - left) {
        return new String(Arrays.copyOf(word, lenght ));
    } else {
        return largestPalindromeInString(
                new String(Arrays.copyOf(word, in.length() - 1)));
    }
}

Answer 2

public class Palindromes {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
         String word = "reliefpfpfeiller";
         char[] warray = word.toCharArray(); 
         System.out.println(isPalindrome(warray));       
    }

    public static boolean isPalindrome(char[] word){
        if(word.length%2 == 0){
            for(int i = 0; i < word.length/2-1; i++){
                if(word[i] != word[word.length-i-1]){
                    return false;
                }
            }
        }else{
            for(int i = 0; i < (word.length-1)/2-1; i++){
                if(word[i] != word[word.length-i-1]){
                    return false;
                }
            }
        }
        return true;
    }
}

Answer 3

I worked on a solution for a question that was marked as duplicate of this one. Might as well throw it here...

The question requested a single line to solve this, and I took it more as the literary palindrome - so spaces, punctuation and upper/lower case can throw off the result.

Here's the ugly solution with a small test class:

public class Palindrome {
   public static boolean isPalendrome(String arg) {
         return arg.replaceAll("[^A-Za-z]", "").equalsIgnoreCase(new StringBuilder(arg).reverse().toString().replaceAll("[^A-Za-z]", ""));
   }
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      System.out.println(isPalendrome("hiya"));
      System.out.println(isPalendrome("star buttons not tub rats"));
      System.out.println(isPalendrome("stab nail at ill Italian bats!"));
      return;
   }
}

Sorry that it is kind of nasty - but the other question specified a one-liner.

Answer 4

Go, Java:

public boolean isPalindrome (String word) {
    String myWord = word.replaceAll("\\s+","");
    String reverse = new StringBuffer(myWord).reverse().toString();
    return reverse.equalsIgnoreCase(myWord);
}

isPalindrome("Never Odd or Even"); // True
isPalindrome("Never Odd or Even1"); // False

Answer 5

 public static boolean isPalindrome(String word) {
    String str = "";
    for (int i=word.length()-1; i>=0;  i--){
        str = str + word.charAt(i);
    }
   if(str.equalsIgnoreCase(word)){
       return true;
   }else{
       return false;
   }

}

Answer 6

also a different looking solution:

public static boolean isPalindrome(String s) {

        for (int i=0 , j=s.length()-1 ; i<j ; i++ , j-- ) {

            if ( s.charAt(i) != s.charAt(j) ) {
                return false;
            }
        }

        return true;
    }
