Given a A string , print Yes if it is a palindrome, print No otherwise

Question

I want to check if the user input is a palindrome or not. But this is not working as expected. Please help.

The code I tried:

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;

public class Solution {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Scanner sc=new Scanner(System.in);
        String A=sc.next();
        for (int i=0; i<A.length()/2; i++){
            if(A.charAt(i)==A.charAt(A.length()-i-1)) {
                System.out.println("Yes");
            } else {
                System.out.println("No");
            }
        }
    }
}

Answer 1

You're printing "Yes" for every character that has the same character at the opposite end of the String and "No" if not. Modify your loop to return a boolean that tells whether the String is a palindrome or not and then print it at the end like so:

boolean isPalindrome = true;
for (int i=0; i<A.length()/2; i++){
    if(!A.charAt(i)==A.charAt(A.length()-i-1)){
    isPalindrome = false;            
    }
}

if(isPalindome){
    System.out.println("Yes");
} else {
    System.out.println("No");
}
