A [[wp:Palindrome|palindrome]] is a phrase which reads the same backward and forward.
{{task heading}}
Write a function or program that checks whether a given sequence of characters (or, if you prefer, bytes)
is a palindrome.
'''''For extra credit:'''''
* Support Unicode characters.
* Write a second function (possibly as a wrapper to the first) which detects ''inexact'' palindromes, i.e. phrases that are palindromes if white-space and punctuation is ignored and case-insensitive comparison is used.
{{task heading|Hints}}
* It might be useful for this task to know how to [[Reversing a string|reverse a string]].
* This task's entries might also form the subjects of the task [[Test a function]].

=={{header|Acornsoft Lisp}}==
This is a small Lisp that doesn't have strings; symbols are used instead. <code>Explode</code> takes a symbol and returns a list of single-character symbols, one for each character in the symbol's name. <code>Implode</code> does the reverse.
Since the exact palindrome tests compares two symbols, it can use <code>eq</code>, and <code>equal</code> isn't needed.
The character set is ASCII. Given a symbol, <code>ordinal</code> returns the numeric ASCII code of the the first character in the symbol's name. <code>Character</code> goes in the other direction and returns a single-character symbol.
The peculiar definition of <code>digit-p</code> is because it's not possible to type a symbol that has a digit character as its name, and so the ''between'' comparison has to be defined using the character before '0' and the one after '9'.

NARS2000 APL, dynamic function "if the argument matches the reverse of the argument", with Unicode character support:
<syntaxhighlight lang="apl"> {⍵≡⌽⍵} 'abc'
0
{⍵≡⌽⍵} '⍋racecar⍋'
1</syntaxhighlight>
Or in tacit function form, a combination of three functions, right tack (echo), reverse, then the result of each compared with the middle one, match (equals):
<syntaxhighlight lang="apl"> (⊢≡⌽) 'abc'
0
(⊢≡⌽) 'nun'
1</syntaxhighlight>
An inexact version is harder, because uppercase and lowercase with Unicode awareness depends on APL interpreter; NARS2000 has no support for it. Classic case conversion means lookup up the letters in an alphabet of UppercaseLowercase, then mapping those positions into an UppercaseUppercase or LowercaseLowercase array. Remove non-A-Za-z first to get rid of punctuation, and get an inexact dynamic function with just English letter support:
<syntaxhighlight lang="apl">inexact←{Aa←(⎕A,⎕a) ⋄ (⊢≡⌽)(⎕a,⎕a)[Aa⍳⍵/⍨⍵∊Aa]}
inexact 'abc,-cbA2z'
0
inexact 'abc,-cbA2'
1</syntaxhighlight>
Dyalog APL has a Unicode-aware uppercase/lowercase function (819 I-beam), AFAIK no support for looking up Unicode character classes.

===Core language only===
It's not clear if "sequence of characters" means an array thereof or a single piece of text. But the basic method in AppleScript would be:
<syntaxhighlight lang="applescript">on isPalindrome(txt)
set txt to join(txt, "") -- In case the input's a list (array).
return (txt = join(reverse of txt's characters, ""))
end isPalindrome
on join(lst, delim)
set astid to AppleScript's text item delimiters
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to delim
set txt to lst as text
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to astid
return txt
end join
return isPalindrome("Radar")</syntaxhighlight>
Text comparisons in AppleScript are case-insensitive by default, so:
{{output}}
<syntaxhighlight lang="applescript">true</syntaxhighlight>
If case is to be taken into account, the call to the handler can be enclosed in a 'considering case' control statement.
<syntaxhighlight lang="applescript">considering case
return isPalindrome("Radar")
end considering</syntaxhighlight>
{{output}}
<syntaxhighlight lang="applescript">false</syntaxhighlight>
It's also possible to "ignore" white space, hyphens, and punctuation, which are considered by default. And of course case can be ignored explicitly, if desired, to ensure that this condition's in force during the call to the handler. The attributes can be combined in one statement. So to check for inexact palindromicity (if that's a word):
<syntaxhighlight lang="applescript">ignoring case, white space, hyphens and punctuation
return isPalindrome("Was it a 😀car, or a c😀at-I-saw?")
end ignoring</syntaxhighlight>

To check a string, replace "dennis sinned" with your own string.
Note that this has some limits.:
* There '''must''' be a quotation mark immediately after the string, and then nothing but spaces for the rest of that line.
** The '''v''' at the end of that same line '''must''' remain immediately above the '''2'''. (''Very'' important.) The closing quotation mark can be against the '''v''', but can't replace it.
* The potential palindrome can be no longer than 76 characters (which beats the previous version's 11), and ''everything'' (spaces, punctuation, capitalization, etc.) is considered part of the palindrome. (Best to just use lower case letters and ''nothing else''.)

This function compares the first char with the last, the second with the one previous the last, and
so on. The first different pair it finds, return 0 (false); if all the pairs were equal, then return 1 (true).
You only need to go up to (the length) / 2 because the second half just re-checks the same stuff as the first half;
and if the length is odd, the middle doesn't need to be checked (so it's okay to do integer division by 2, which rounds down).
<syntaxhighlight lang="c">#include <string.h>
{
int i,l;
for(i=0; i<l/2; i++)
{
if ( s[i] != s[l-i-1] ) return 0;
}
return 1;
}</
More idiomatic version:
<syntaxhighlight lang="c">int palindrome(const char *s)
{
const char *t; /* t is a pointer that traverses backwards from the end */
for (t = s; *t != '\0'; t++) ; t--; /* set t to point to last character */
while (s < t)
{
if ( *s++ != *t-- ) return 0;
}
return 1;
}</syntaxhighlight>
A single char is surely a palindrome; a string is a palindrome if first and last char are the same and the remaining string (the string starting from the second char and ending to the char preceding the last one) is
itself a palindrome.
<syntaxhighlight lang="c">int palindrome_r(const char *s, int b, int e)

It is only necessarily to scan the first half of the string, <code>upper(0, upper.size() // 2)</code>, and compare each character to the corresponding character from the other end, <code>upper[last - i]</code>.
The for loop syntax is <code>for <var>key pattern</var> => <var>value pattern</var> in <var>collection</var> { ... }</code>, <code>?</code> imposes an additional boolean condition on a pattern (it may be read “''such that''”), and if the pattern does not match in a for loop then the iteration is skipped, so false is returned only if <code>upper[last - i] != c</code>.

In addition, Frink uses a ''grapheme''-based reverse, which allows the algorithm below to operate on combined sequences of Unicode characters.
For example, the string "og\u0308o" represents an o, a g with combining diaeresis, followed by the letter o. Or, in other words, "og̈o". Note that while there are four Unicode codepoints, only three "graphemes" are displayed. Using Frink's smart "reverse" function preserves these combined graphemes and detects them correctly as palindromes.
<syntaxhighlight lang="frink">isPalindrome[x] := x == reverse[x]

There is more than one way to do this.
* '''palindrome''' uses the built-in function <tt>reverse()</tt>.
* '''palindrome_c''' uses iteration; it is a translation of the [[{{PAGENAME}}#C|C solution]].
* '''palindrome_r''' uses recursion.
* '''palindrome_e''' uses a recursive regular expression.
All of these functions take a parameter,
or default to <tt>$_</tt> if there is no parameter.
None of these functions ignore case or strip characters;
if you want do that, you can use <tt>($s = lc $s) =~ s/[\W_]//g</tt>
before you call these functions.

Strings and substrings all come with two byte pointers by default:
* <code>first</code>, which points to the first byte in the string.
* <code>last</code>, which points to the last byte in the string.
<code>first</code> is an address, while <code>first's target</code> is the byte at that address.
No need to actually reverse the string; just compare the first's target with the last's target until they meet in the middle.
<syntaxhighlight lang="plainenglish">To decide if a string is palindromic:
Slap a substring on the string.
Loop.
If the substring's first is greater than the substring's last, say yes.
If the substring's first's target is not the substring's last's target, say no.
Add 1 to the substring's first.
Subtract 1 from the substring's last.

An implementation that traverses the string and ignores case differences, spaces, and non-alpha characters is pretty trivial.

'''Recursive'''
Note that the recursive method will fail if the string length is too long.
R will assume an infinite recursion if a recursion nests deeper than 5,000.
Options may be set in the environment to increase this to 500,000.
<syntaxhighlight lang="rsplus">palindro <- function(p) {
if ( nchar(p) == 1 ) {
return(TRUE)
} else if ( nchar(p) == 2 ) {

<syntaxhighlight lang="rsplus">palindroi <- function(p) {

if ( substr(p, i, i) != substr(p, r, r) ) return(FALSE)
}
TRUE
}</syntaxhighlight>
'''Comparative'''
This method is somewhat faster than the other two.
Note that this method incorrectly regards an empty string as not a palindrome.
Please leave this bug in the code, and take a look a the [[Testing_a_Function]] page.
<syntaxhighlight lang="rsplus">revstring <- function(stringtorev) {

'''Rev'''
R has a built-in function for reversing vectors, so we only have to coerce our input in to the proper form.
Unicode is supported, but this ignores the "inexact palindromes" extra credit requirement because, without some sort of regex, supporting Unicode while stripping punctuation and white space is hard in R.
