how do you check if a palindrome is true

eg
mom will have 1 check because the m's cancel and whatever is in the middle is left over.

ps how do you create a palindrome

umm... you'd have to use a reversed for loop and use two variables.... thats the easiest way
ex:

code:

var word1,word2:string(30):=""
word:="mom"
for decreasing i:1..length(word1)
word2+=word1(i)
end for
if (word1 = word2) then
%is a palindrome
end if

thats just one way, theres more but i think thats the easiest...

you could also do this

code:

var word :string:="mom"
for i:1..length(word) div 2
for decreasing j: length(word)..length(word) div 2
if word(i) not= word(j)
put "no"
return
end if
end for
end for

better than blade's method cuz u dont need a new var Laughing
