Alrighty my fellow caraudio friends I come to you with a problem.

I have to test for a palindrome using a recursive function. Here is my current gode

beg is passed in as 0, mod does nothing.

bool testp (string testof, int length, int beg,int mod) 
     { 
     cout<<beg<<"     "<<length<<endl; 
     if (beg>=length) 
        return true; 
     else 
         { 
         if (testof[beg]!=testof[length]) 
            return false; 
         else 
             testp(testof,length-1,beg+1,mod); 
         } 
     }

truth, thats why it doesnt work. It should in theory work i think ,unless im over lookign somethign simple

So do you literally have to test any/all words?

Where is your input?

nG

 

[lilmaniac2 5,000+ posts]

the input is passed as the string. read in as cin in the global program

yes i need to test any and all phrase/word

Ok, so this is just a piece of your code...

yes that is the recursive function

Shit son, If you asked me this about a year ago... I would have had it knocked out in 5minutes.

But, you don't use it... ya lose it. It's simple though, I just think you're going about it a different way than I would have.

fixed it,logic was fine. problem was in my main program. that code is perfect.

I normally wouldnt do it this way, but i had to do it recursively in as few lines of code as possible

Damn. I wont even do a double major.

 

[lilmaniac2 5,000+ posts]

I could single major in 3.5 years, double in 4.5, or quadruple 5.5.

I chose the last...

shit, i took C++ last year in highschool

made a program for determining port sizes

all that shit

dice rolling programs for D&D

all that fun shit

and some semi-useful shit

some text based games too

too bad all of it got erased when the school's network got butt****ed over the summer

C++ was fun but its pretty much a dead coding language

alot of highschools dont even teach it anymore

learn java
