This is my first recursion project and i have no idea if i'm even going about it the right way...It's a palindrome checker, which checks for integers. I can't check it character by character as a string. It compiles clean but when i execute it i get weird results like "4280412". It is supposed to display "yes" or "no"
here is my code: could someone please help me figure out or tell me what i'm doing wrong?
void CLab13Dlg::OnClear() //button that clears both edit boxes
{
SetDlgItemText(IDC_NUMBER, "");
SetDlgItemText(IDC_PALINDROME, "");
}
void CLab13Dlg::OnCheck() //button to check if integer is a palindrome
{
GetDlgItemText(IDC_NUMBER, m_number);
int length = m_number.GetLength(); //length of the string
int number = atoi(m_number);
palindrome(number, length);
if(palindrome(number,length)==true)
{
m_palindrome.Format("%d", "Yes");
SetDlgItemText(IDC_PALINDROME, m_palindrome);
}
else if(palindrome(number, length) == false)
{
m_palindrome.Format("%d", "No");
SetDlgItemText(IDC_PALINDROME, m_palindrome);
}
}
bool CLab13Dlg::palindrome(int number, int length)
{
int value = (int)pow(10, length-1);
if(length == 1)
{
return(true);
}
else if(number/value == number%10)
{
number = number%value;
number = number / 10;
length= length - 2;
palindrome(number, length);
return(true);
}
else
{
return(false);
}
}
