Write a program that uses a recursive function to determine whether a string is a character-unit palindrome. Moreover, the options for doing case sensitive comparisons and not ignoring spaces are indicated with flags. For example "A nut for a jar of tuna" is a palindrome if spaces are ignored and not otherwise. "Step on no pets" is a palindrome whether spaces are ignored or not, but is not a palindrome if it is case sensitive.
Background
Palindromes are character sequences that read the same forward or backward (e.g. the strings "mom" or "123 454 321"). Punctuation and spaces are frequently ignored so that phrases like "Dog, as a devil deified, lived as a god." are palindromes. Conversely, even if spaces are not ignored phrases like "Rats live on no evil star" are still palindromes.
Requirements
Command Line Parameters
The program name will be followed by a list of strings. The program will determine whether each string is a palindrome and output the results. Punctuation will always be ignored. An optional flag can preceed a term that modifies how the palindrome is determined.
Strings
Each string will be separated by a space on the command line. If you want to include a string that has spaces in it (e.g. "Rats live on no evil star"), then put quotes around it. The quote characters will not be part of the string that is read in.
Flags
Optional for the user
Must immediately precede the word it applies to.
Must start with a minus (-) sign followed by one or two flag values that can be capital or lower case. e.g. -c, -S, -Cs, -Sc, etc.
There are no spaces between starting minus (-) sign and flag(s).
Flags values are case insensitive.
c or C: Indicates that comparisons should be case-sensitive for all input strings. The default condition (i.e. if the flag is NOT included) is to ignore case-sensitivity. So, for example:
palindrome Mom should evalate as being a palindrome.
palindrome -c Mom should not evalate as being a palindrome.
s or S: Indicates that comparisons should not ignore spaces for all input strings. The default condition (i.e. if the flag is NOT included) is to ignore spaces. So, for example:
palindrome "A nut for a jar of tuna" should evalate as being a palindrome.
palindrome -s "A nut for a jar of tuna" should not evalate as being a palindrome.
Options can appear in different flags, e.g. you can use -Sc or -S -c
The same flag cannot appear more than one time prior to a term. If it does, print a usage statement and exit program.
Code Expectations
Program should only get user input from the command line. (i.e. "cin" should not be anywhere in your code).
Required Functions:printUsageInfo - Print program usage message in case no input strings were found at command line.
Parameter(s): a string representing the name of the executable from the command line.
Return: void.
isPalindrome - This function determines whether a string is a character-unit palindrome.
Parameter(s): an input string, and two boolean flags that say whether to consider case-sensitivity and whether to not ignore spaces.
Return: bool.
All functions should be placed in a separate file following the conventions we covered.
Program Flow
Your program will take arguments from the command-line.
Determine if you have enough arguments. If not, output a usage message and exit program.
Loop through all arguments:Determine if a flag or a term.If flag
Process and set values to use when processing a palindrome.
If flag set too many times, e.g. -s -S or -scs, print usage message and exit program immediately.
If term:
Process by calling isPalindrome function with flag values.

Write a recursive function, take a String as input, return true, if the String is a palindrome; false otherwise. For instance, if the input is: “A nut for a jar of tuna” Then the return value is true. Notice that the non English letters are ignored; the spaces are ignored; and it is NOT case sensitive. You must write recursive function. You shall turn in a complete program, including main function to use your function to test if a String...
1.) Write a recursive function named isPalindrome that will take a single string as an argument and determine if the argument is a palindrome. The function must return True if the argument is a palindrome, False otherwise. Recall that any string is a palindrome if its first and last characters are the same and the rest of it is also a palindrome (therefore, a single character is a palindrome): 2.) Consider a text file named samplestrings.txt that contains a collection...

C Program: 6.31 (Palindromes) A palindrome is a string that's spelled the same way forward and backward. Some examples of palindromes are: "radar" "able was i ere i saw elba" and, if you ignore blanks: "a man a plan a canal panama" Write a recursive function testPalindrome that returns 1 if the string stored in the array is a palindrome and 0 otherwise. The function should ignore spaces and punctuation in the string. Use the function in a complete program...
Your program must prompt the user to enter a string. The program must then test the string entered by the user to determine whether it is a palindrome. A palindrome is a string that reads the same backwards and forwards, such as "radar", "racecar", and "able was I ere I saw elba". It is customary to ignore spaces, punctuation, and capitalization when looking for palindromes. For example, "A man, a plan, a canal. Panama!" is considered to be a palindrome....
Write a C++ program to check whether a string is a palindrome. Input a string (word) from the keyboard. Assume the letters are case-insenstive. Use the C++ string class. Refer to the sample output below. Sample Runs: Enter a string: otto; otto is a palindrome Enter a string: A A is a palindrome Enter a string: heooh heooh is not a palindrome
OK, here is the project, I need to get started and just don't understand how to get the registers, the array, stack to work with the UART. Just looking for some help to start, not looking for you to solve the project. I have to write a program that receives a string of characters via the UART, checks if this string is a palindrome, and then uses a print function to print either "Yes" or "No".
