[Java] Palindrome App Won't Work. Help.`

[creativename]

My code is.....

 

class Palindrome

{

   public static void main(String args[])

   {

       String word, reverse = " ";

  EasyReader input = new EasyReader();

  

  System.out.println("Input a word");

  word = input.readWord();

  

  int length = word.length();

 

      for ( int i = length - 1; i >= 0; i-- )

         reverse = reverse + word.charAt(i);

 

      if (word.equals(reverse))

         System.out.println("It is a palindrome.");

      else

         System.out.println("It is not a palidrome.");

 

   }

}

 

 

 

No matter what word I input, I always get back the else SOP.

You initialized reverse to a space, it should be an empty string.

Thanks. I feel stupid now, I stared at it for like 2 hours wondering what was wrong.
