I cannot figure out why this code isn't working. It doesn't even seem to be going through my for loops and nested loops. I'm very new to programing. I have been trying to answer Euler questions for practice. Sorry if my code is awful.
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
bool isPalindrome(int x) {
string str = to_string(x);
for(string::reverse_iterator rit=str.rbegin(); rit!=str.rend(); ++rit) {
string pal = to_string(*rit);
if(pal == str) {
return true;
}else {
return false;
}
}
}
int main() {
int max[] = {0, 0};
for(int i=999; i>99; i--) {
for( int j =999; j>99; j--) {
int pal = i*j;
if(isPalindrome(pal) == true) {
max[1] = pal;
if(max[1] > max[0]){
max[0] = pal;
}
}
}
}
cout << max[0];
}
I think you need to return true in isPalindrome
after comparing complete string. ie return true;
should be outside for
loop
And for checking largest 3 digit palindrome why are you passing int pal = i*j;
ie for first iteration 999*999
. Check this
bool isPalindrome(int x) {
string str = to_string(x);
string pal = str;
std::reverse(pal.begin(),pal.end());
if(pal == str) {
return true;
}else {
return false;
}
}
