Palindrome Program in C
Skills you’ll Learn
About this course
In this course, you will learn about the Palindrome program in C. You will start this course by learning the basic concepts of C such as variables, data types along with input/output in C. Then, moving ahead you will get the idea about different types of operators and functions. Then we will jump to control statements such as if, if-else, switch-case and loops.Then, moving ahead you will get the idea about a palindrome which is defined as a word, phrase, number and on reading gives the same, backward as forward. Lastly, you will be seeing the practical implementation of palindrome number.

Course Outline
This module discusses about the basics of C programming which includes the Introduction, Variables, Data Types, Input & Output, Operators, Functions and C control statements.
A palindrome is a sequence of numbers or characters similar to its reverse. The number/character is similar when read from the front and the end. For example: 12321, 34543
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the longest palindromic word in the English language?
As per the Oxford English dictionary, the longest palindromic word is the 'onomatopoeic.' It was invented by James Joyce in Ulysses in 1922.
What is the palindrome number program in C?
The palindrome number program in C is a C program that takes a number as input, processes it, and outputs whether the number entered by the user is a palindrome or not. An integer is considered a palindrome if and only it is the same number when read from backward. The time complexity of such a code is O (#number of digits in the number) since the logic is that the code creates a new number by reading the number from the end digit by digit. It then compares the new number with the original number to determine if it is a palindrome or not.
What is the palindrome string program in C?
The palindrome string program in C is a C program that takes an input of a word or a sentence (collection of words), processes the input and output whether the given string is a palindrome or not. A word is a palindrome if it reads the same from both front and back. For e.g. ‘abba’ is a palindrome. The time complexity of this program depends upon the number of characters in the input since the program has to read the word at least once to process it.
What is the general logic used in a palindrome program for numbers?
The following logic is used in C code to detect if the given number is palindrome or not.
-
Get the input number from the user
-
Store it in a temporary variable
-
Reverse the number
-
Compare the temporary number with the reversed number
-
If both numbers are the same, print the given number as a palindrome number
-
Else print give n number is not palindrome number
Which standard file should be included in the code for doing input and output to the console?
We should include <stdio.h> at the top of our c file for doing i/o to console. The header file stdio. h is the short form for Standard Input Output, which is usually the system console. This library header file contains declarations related to input/output functions. It provides many i/o functions such as printf(), scanf(), getc() etc.
