Welcome to the Palindrome Checker program! This Python application determines if a given string reads the same backward as forward. It handles multi-line inputs, ignores non-alphanumeric characters, and is case-insensitive. Follow the instructions below to understand and use the program.
## Features ✨
- **Palindrome Detection**: Checks if the input string is a palindrome.
- **Multi-Line Input Support**: Allows long inputs across multiple lines.
- **Formatted Output**: Provides clear and user-friendly messages with emojis.
- **User Interaction**: Prompts for continuous checks or exit.
## How to Use 📜
### Installation ⚙️
1. Ensure you have Python installed on your system (Python 3.6 or later recommended).
2. Save the Python code into a file named `palindrome_checker.py`.
### Running the Program 🚀
1. Open a terminal or command prompt.
2. Navigate to the directory where `palindrome_checker.py` is saved.
3. Run the program using Python.
```bash
git clone https://github.com/mdriyadkhan585/palindrome-checker-python
cd palindrome-checker-python
python palindrome_checker.py
```
### Using the Program 🖥️
1. **Enter a String**: When prompted, enter the string you want to check.
- For multi-line input, end each line with a backslash (`\`) to continue on the next line.
2. **View Results**: The program will indicate whether the input string is a palindrome.
3. **Continue or Exit**: After checking, you’ll be asked if you want to check another string.
- Type `y` or `Y` to check another string.
- Type `n` or `N` to exit the program.
### Example Usage 🏆
```plaintext
Palindrome Checker Program
==============================
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
Thank you for using the Palindrome Checker!
==============================================
```
## Code Overview 📝
### `is_palindrome` Function 🔍
- **Purpose**: Checks if a string reads the same forward and backward.
- **How It Works**:
- Removes non-alphanumeric characters.
- Converts the string to lowercase and compares it with its reverse.
### `format_text` Function ✨
- **Purpose**: Formats text for improved readability.
- **How It Works**: Adds decorative lines for titles and returns plain text for other messages.
### `main` Function 🏠
- **Purpose**: Manages user interaction and input processing.
- **Features**:
- Handles multi-line input.
- Checks if the input string is empty and provides feedback.
- Asks if the user wants to continue or exit.
## Troubleshooting 🛠️
- **Input Issues**: Ensure that input is provided correctly and multi-line input ends with a backslash.
- **Python Errors**: Verify you are using Python 3.6 or later and the code is saved properly.
