# Write code to check a String is palindrome or not?

## Answers

### Answer by Arti Mishra

A [string](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/1717/string-string-builder-and-string-buffer-in-java) is a palindrome if it remains unchanged when reversed, for example, "dad" is a palindrome as [reverse](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/1603/java-reverse-selection-sort) of "dad" is "dad" whereas "parents" is not a palindrome as its reverse is “stnerap”.
