One of the simplest ways to check for a palindrome in R is by comparing the original string with its reverse.

R

# Function to check if a string is a palindrome
isPalindrome <- function(s) {
  s <- tolower(s) 
  s <- gsub(" ", "", s)
  rev_s <- paste(rev(unlist(strsplit(s, ""))), collapse = "")
  return(s == rev_s)
}
 
# Predefined input (change this string as needed)
user_input <- "malayalam"
# user_input<- "mala yalam"  # this also give same output as previous because both are plaindrome 
 
# Check if the user input is a palindrome and print YES or NO
if (isPalindrome(user_input)) {
  cat("YES\n")
} else {
  cat("NO\n")
}

Output:

YES

We convert the string to lowercase and remove spaces for a case-insensitive and space-agnostic comparison. Then, we check if the string is equal to its reverse.

R Program to Check if a String is a Palindrome

In this article, we explore a simple yet essential task in programming: checking whether a given string is a palindrome. A palindrome is a sequence of characters that reads the same forwards and backwards, making it a common problem in text processing and string manipulation. We’ll delve into the logic and implementation of a program in the R programming language to efficiently determine if a string exhibits this intriguing property, offering practical insights for both beginners and experienced programmers.
