Palindrome Checker is a C program that determines if a string reads the same forward and backward. It ignores non-alphanumeric characters and is case-insensitive. The program runs in a loop, allowing multiple checks, and provides clear results and prompts to continue or exit.

# Palindrome Checker Program 🕵️♂️
---
[In Python](https://github.com/mdriyadkhan585/palindrome-checker-python)
[In Python GUI](https://github.com/mdriyadkhan585/palindrome-checker-gui)
---
Welcome to the Palindrome Checker program! This C application checks whether a given string is a palindrome—a word, phrase, or sequence that reads the same backward as forward. Follow the instructions below to use and understand this program.
## Features ✨
- **Checks for Palindromes**: Determines if the input string reads the same forward and backward, ignoring non-alphanumeric characters and case.
- **User-Friendly Loop**: Allows multiple checks in one run of the program.
- **Input Validation**: Handles empty strings and provides informative messages.
## How to Use 📜
### Compilation ⚙️
1. Ensure you have a C compiler installed (e.g., `gcc`).
2. Save the code into a file named `palindrome_checker.c`.
```bash
git clone https://github.com/mdriyadkhan585/palindrome-checker-c
cd palindrome-checker-c
gcc -o palindrome_checker palindrome_checker.c
```
This command compiles the code and generates an executable named `palindrome_checker`.
### Running the Program 🚀
1. Run the compiled executable.
```bash
./palindrome_checker
```
2. The program will prompt you to enter a string.
3. After you enter a string, it will determine if the string is a palindrome and display the result.
4. You will then be asked if you want to check another string. Type `y` or `Y` to continue, or `n` or `N` to exit.
### Example Usage 🖥️
```plaintext
Enter a string: A man a plan a canal Panama
The input string is a palindrome.
Do you want to check another string? (y/n): y
Enter a string: Hello, World!
The input string is not a palindrome.
Do you want to check another string? (y/n): n
Exiting the program.
```
## Code Overview 📝
### `isPalindrome` Function 🔍
- **Purpose**: Checks if the string is a palindrome.
- **How It Works**:
- Uses two pointers to compare characters from the start and end.
- Skips non-alphanumeric characters and ignores case.
### `main` Function 🏠
- **Purpose**: Manages user input and interaction.
- **Features**:
- Reads the input string.
- Removes the newline character.
- Checks if the string is empty and prompts the user accordingly.
- Asks if the user wants to check another string.
## Troubleshooting 🛠️
- **Input Issues**: If you encounter errors reading input, ensure your environment supports `fgets`.
- **Compilation Errors**: Make sure you have a compatible C compiler and that the code is saved correctly.
