Lab 12

Palindrome Program

CSCI 111 Programming and Algorithms I

Due Sunday February 21, 11:59pm on turnin

10 Points

NEW CONCEPTS: Successful completion of this lab incorporates the following new concepts.

#include

string word;

int wordlen;

wordlen = word.size();

Task list:

1. Create a source code file named lab12.cpp.

2. Start by prompting the user for a word and saving it into a variable of type string.

3. Determine if the word is a palindrome. Start by checking the first and last letter of the word and work your way towards the center of the word. The program should accept both, odd and even number of letters per word.

4. The script should display whether the word is a palindrome or not.

5. Refer to the expected output listing below.

6. Submit your lab12.cpp file on https://turnin.ecst.csuchico.edu/ and get a successful message. GRADING

To achieve a maximum score, students will need to clearly prove that they completed the goal.

Points lost for incompleteness, sloppiness, lateness, or failure to follow instructions.
