I have a program that is supposed to ask the user for a number and it will determine whether it is a palindrome or not. It's supposed to keep asking for numbers until EOF is input - So far it asks for the number twice and doesn't seem to be doing the while loop correctly.
Any insight is appreciated
import java.util.Scanner;
public class PalindromeEOF
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter a number to check if it is a palindrome:");
String num = scanner.nextLine();
String reverse = "";
while (scanner.hasNextLine())
{
for ( int i = 0; i<num.length(); i++ )
{
reverse = num.charAt(i) + reverse;
}
if (num.equals(reverse))
{
System.out.println("\nEntered number IS a palindrome.");
}
else
{
System.out.println("\nEntered number is NOT a palindrome.");
}
System.out.println("\nEnter a number to check if it is a palindrome:");
num = scanner.nextLine();
reverse = "";
}
System.out.println("\nProgram ended on request");
}
}
This worked for me; unless you need num
or reverse
outside the while loop it should work.
import java.util.Scanner;
public class PalindromeEOF
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter a number to check if it is a palindrome:");
while (scanner.hasNextLine())
{
String num = scanner.nextLine();
String reverse = "";
for ( int i = 0; i<num.length(); i++ )
{
reverse = num.charAt(i) + reverse;
}
if (num.equals(reverse))
{
System.out.println("\nEntered number IS a palindrome.");
}
else
{
System.out.println("\nEntered number is NOT a palindrome.");
}
System.out.println("\nEnter a number to check if it is a palindrome:");
}
System.out.println("\nProgram ended on request");
}
}
