help with palindrome question

[JR]

code:

function palindrome (s : string) : boolean     if s (1) = s (*) then         palindrome (s (2 .. * -1))     end if end palindrome var s : string put "Enter a word" get s if palindrome (s) = true then     put s, "is a palindrome" else     put s, "is not a palindrome" end if

this is the code, i need to make the program find the palindrome using recustion. I need help fixin the prog, some strange errors.

well, right now you are calling a function like a procedure, you can't do that.

Another error, is that when you are passing the string as a parameter, if the string you pass is 1 character long, passing s (2 .. * - 1) will give you error.

that's about it, from what I see

code:

function palindrome (s : string, i : int) : boolean     if length(s) = i then result true end if     if s(i) = s(length(s)-i+1) then         if palindrome (s, i + 1) then             result true         end if     end if           result false end palindrome var s : string put "Enter a word" get s if palindrome (s, 1) = true then     put s, " is a palindrome" else     put s, " is not a palindrome" end if

hmm... when you use function, you have to return the result.

if a function returns boolean, you don't need to use comparison operator in if statement

code:

function example():boolean return true end example if example then put "since function returned true, the overall if statement condition is also true" end if
