Use the following functions in your program driver program.

      //Function Reads the input data file

void getBookData(BookType books[], int& noOfBooks);

//Function Displays the list of book information

void printBookData(BookType books[], int noOfBooks);

//Function Searches for book based on book title or ISBN

void searchBookData(BookType books[], int bookCount);

//Function searches list of books based on book ISBN and

//returns the location (index) of the found book.

void searchBookDataByISBN(BookType books[], int bookCount,        

                          string ISBN,int& loc);

//Function searches list of books based on book title and

//returns the location (index) of the found book.

void searchBookDataByTitle(BookType books[], int bookCount, string title, int& loc);

HINT: Define a class BookType with all the data members and member functions for accessing and setting the data members.

The code which I'm going to paste below, is running completely fine in visual studio.

=========================================CODE BEGINS===================================

#include <iostream>

#include <string>

using namespace std;

bool Palindrome(string s, int st, int en) {

if(st == en)

return 1;

//For skipping commas, spaces etc from forward.

if(st < en && isalnum(s[st]) == 0)

return Palindrome(s, st+1, en);

//For skipping commas, spaces etc from backward.

if(st < en && isalnum(s[en]) == 0)

return Palindrome(s, st, en-1);

//We character at st and en position matches.

if(toupper(s[st]) == toupper(s[en]))

return Palindrome(s, st+1, en-1);

//return false

return false;

}

int main() {

string word;

getline(cin, word);

cout<<Palindrome(word, 0, word.length()-1)<<endl;

system("pause");

return 0;

}

========================================CODE ENDS=====================================

The program is running completely fine on the given Input.
