Can we use string buffer object in a loop

Question

Im trying to create a program which takes out each and everyword and checks whether its a palindrome word or not (ps trying to reverse the word using reverse() function)

Answer 1

is this Java? Sure, why not?

StringBuffer p = new StringBuffer("racecar");

for (int I = 0; i < pal.length(); I++) {
//code goes here
// you only have to test half buffer..
}

Or you could just loop through backwards or from each end..

String pal = "racecar";

int right = pal.length()-1;
int left = 0;

public boolean isPalindrome(String p) {
while (left < right) {
if (p.charAt (left) != p.charAt (right))
return false;
else{
left++;
right--;
}
return true;
}
