Lab 12B: Palindromes with Files Overview
This is a demonstration of reading and writing files.
Objectives
Be able to read from an input file, perform string manipulation on each line of the file, and write to an output file.
Provided input file:
A single input file named something like myinput. txt is provided that contains a few lines of text.
Description
Create a program to read each line of an input file, determine if the text on the line is a palindrome, and write "palindrome' or 'not a palindrome' to the output file depending on the input. Recall from lab 16.23 that a palindrome is a word or a phrase that is the same when read both forward and backward. In this program, you need to ignore spaces when determining if a phrase is a palindrome. Examples are: 'bob," "sees," or "never odd or even" (ignoring spaces).
You will read the line from a text file, use a function called palindromeChecker to determine if the line is a palindrome. Your function should take a string and return either the string palindrome or not a palindrome, as applicable.
You will write the results to a text file and display the results to the user as shown below.
You may refer to labs 8C and 13B and reuse your code from those labs, as applicable.
Sample Output to the file from the Provided Input File
