Chapter 16, Problem 16.13E

Program Plan Intro

Program Plan:

• Include necessary header files.
• Declare boolPalindromeTester(string s); function header which will accept a string and return a bool value.

Start main() function:

Declare string variable “ a ” and bool variable “ c ”.

Input string in “ a ”.

Call “PalindromeTester” function with argument as “ a ”.

Check if return of function is true, then display “string is palindrome” else display “String not a palindrome”.

Return and exit main function.

Define function boolPalindromeTester(string s).

Use transforn function to convert string s to lowercase.

Declare two strings “a” and “b”.

Use copy_if function to remove said punctuations and copy in new string “a”.

Make “b” same as “a”.

Use reverse() function on “b” to get reverse of string in “b”.

Make check bool value true.

Run loop from first string to end, comparing characters of both “a” and “b”. If mismatch is found return false.

If loop is fully executed, return true.
