Need help

[dan2n1]

Hello Everyone,
I am in need in help with a palindrome program. Below is what I have, but keeps crashing and I am not sure why. Yes, I am a newbie to programming and C++.

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <string>


using namespace std;

//Starting point. This program will ask the user to input a word, and the program will reply if it is a palindrome until END is typed to terminate.

int main()
{
	string word972;
	bool end;
	

//Asking user to input a word.
	do{
		
		cout << "Please enter a word to find out if it is a palindrome or type END to terminate." << endl;
		cout << endl;
		cin>>  word972;


//Break function for "END".
	while (word972.length()) 
	(word972 != "END");
	if (!"END") { break; }
		
		
  if (word972 [0] == 'E' && word972 [1] =='N' && word972 [2] == 'D' && word972 [3] == '\0') 
	
	  end = true; 

else 

	end = false;
	int length = (word972.length());


// Bool and for loop for word input, also to display word as it is typed.
bool palindrome=true;

	for (int i=0; i<length; i++)

	{

	if(toupper(word972[i])!=toupper(word972[length-i-1]))

	if(word972[i]!=word972[length-1-i]) 
palindrome=false;

	}

// Output of palindrome respone.
	if (palindrome) 
	
	{
	
		cout << word972 << " is a palindrome" << endl;
	}
	
	else 
	
	{
	
		cout << word972 << " is not a palindrome" << endl;
		
	}

// Whlie loop until END is typed to terminate.
	}

	while (word972!="END");
	
	{

	cout << endl << "This is the end"<<endl; 

	}

	system ("PAUSE");
return(0);
}

There is many syntax errors in this and I think you are trying to create functions the wrong way.

Have you taken any C++ classes or read any books?

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
char word[10];
for ( int x = 0; x < 10; x++ ) { word[x] = ' '; } //initialize array to nothing

cin >> word;

char palindrome[10];

for ( int x = 0; x < 10; x++ ) { palindrome[x] = word[x]; } // copy to palindrome

int count = 9;

for ( int x = 0; x < 10; x ++ ) { if ( word[x] != palindrome[count] ) { cout << "Not a palindrome";}
else { count --; }
}
if ( count == 0 ) {cout << "Is a palindrome";}


return 0;
}

This is a VERY SHITTY example to get you thinking about the logic.

I tried doing that, but did not work.

@MaxDaniels

Look at some of my other posts as to why you shouldn't have line 2, and what to do about it. Then realise you are using std::count

@dan2n1

So you are implying you don't want any more help?

Edit:

Also, don't start new topics on the same subject, just keep the original one going.

Did you apply the advice given in the other topic?
