Question

write an algorithm and draw a corresponding flowchart to test whether a given word is a palindrome.

Answer 1

Code in Python 3.x:

str = input()

if str == str[::-1]:

 print(str, "is a palindrome.")

else:

 print(str, "is not a palindrome")

Explanation:

First line: asks for an input string.

Second line onwards: checks if the original string is the same as the reverse of the string. If true, then it prints that the string is a palindrome. if false, it prints that the string is not a palindrome.

Flow chart:

Sorry because I wasn't able to type in paint. I have colored them for your understanding.

Blue: Start

Green: Input

Purple: Check if string is palindrome

Orange: Yes, print it is.

Yellow: No, print it isn't.

Brown: End
