I need to write a code that checks to see if an input is a palindrome-same backwards as forwards, for instance madam or rotor.
I need to use the "programming method" which means I can't use any functions with str, eval, flip or printf. I don't want the answer, but just a place to start on how to build this code. Note, this isn't homework, just a practice question.

I get no such problem. Did you pass in rotor or 'rotor'? You probably forgot the quotes around it, because this works fine for me
output = isPalindrome('rotor')
If the function is
function output = isPalindrome(yourString)
lastIndex=floor(length(yourString)/2);
for k=1:lastIndex
if yourString(k)~=yourString(end+1-k)
output = false;
else
output = true;
end
end
You also didn't use the debugger like I recommended or else you would have found out that you need to use (end+1-k) instead of (lastIndex+1-k).

@Kashiraj it simply compares the first letter to the last letter, the second letter to the next to the last letter, and so on. Just think how you would describe it yourself if you had to explain it to someone.

The first point is X(1). The last point is X(end)
The second point is X(2). The second last point is X(end-1)
The third point is X(3). The third last point is X(end-2)
So for the K'th point, which point is the K'th last point?
