Question

A palindrome is a word or phrase that reads the same forward and backward, ignoring blanks and considering uppercase and lowercase versions of the same letter to be equal. For example, the following are palindromes:

warts n straw
radar
Able was I ere I saw Elba
xyzczyx

Write a program that will accept a sequence of characters terminated by a period and will decide whether the string—without the period—is a palindrome. You may assume that the input contains only letters and blanks and is at most 80 characters long. Include a loop that allows the user to check additional strings until she or he requests that the program end.

Hint: Define a static method called is Palindrome that begins as follows: /** Precondition: The array a contains letters and blanks in positions a[0] through a[used − 1]. Returns true if the string is a palindrome and false otherwise. */ public static boolean is a palindrome(char[] a int used) Your program should read the input characters into an array whose base type is char and then call the preceding method. The int variable used keeps track of how much of the array is used, as described in the “Partially Filled Arrays.”
