CPSC250A Assignment 10 - Palindrome

Due Wednesday September 14

A palindrome is a word or phrase that can be read forward or backward.

Details

The file palindrome.cc contains the outline for a program that reads in a line of text from the user, passes the text as a primitive string to the undefined method Palindrome, that returns a boolean for whether the specified string is a palindrome. The Palindrome method should ignore all non-alphabetic characters and should not be case sensitive. For example, the following text should be recognized as a palindrome by your program:

Never odd or even!

In order to determine if a character is alphabetic, uppercase, or lowercase, take advantage of how ascii characters are represented. The characters a - z when cast to integers are 97 - 122 and the characters A - Z when cast to integers are 65 - 90. Do not use the functions in cctype. Be sure to test your code on multiple examples and on the cs server.

Submission

Tar your code in a file that contains your name and submit it on the course Inquire site.
