Why my palindrome dont work help me please

[sdelaney]

here is my code, the issue is its not determine if the value is a palindrome or not.

// unit 5b.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
//
// How to read a file
// identify the string if its a palindrome or not
//
// Sheila DeLaney
// Unit 5
//

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <cctype>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <cmath>
#include <cstring>
#include <iomanip>

using std::cerr;
using std::cout;
using std::endl;

using std::ifstream;
using namespace std;

int str = 0;
int counter = 1; // count the number of loops up to 7 then stop

bool isPalindrome(string str);



int main()
{
bool isPalindrome=true;


for (counter = 1; counter <= 7; counter++)
{


if (counter == 1)
str = 10;
else if(counter == 2)
str = 34;
else if(counter == 3)
str = 222;
else if(counter == 4)
str = 111;
else if(counter == 5)
str = 67867876;
else if(counter == 6)
str = 444244;
else if(counter == 7)
str = 123454321;


if(isPalindrome==true)
{cout << isPalindrome; // tell me what the value is
cout << endl;

cout << str;
cout << " is a palindrom" << endl;}

else

{ cout << str;
cout << " is not a palindrom" << endl;}
system("Pause");
}


return 0;
}



bool isPalindrome(string str)
{
int length = str.length(); //Step 1

for (int i = 0; i < (length - 1) / 2; i++) //Step 2
if (str[i] != str[length - 1 - i])
return false;
return true;
}

You never call the isPalindrome function.

There is also a problem with the function. You miss to check the character(s) in the middle of the string.
