Palindrome in Go

README.md

From Wikipedia:

A palindrome is a word, phrase, number, or other sequence of symbols or elements that reads the same forward or reversed, with general allowances for adjustments to punctuation and word dividers. Famous examples include "Amor, Roma", "A man, a plan, a canal: Panama" and "No 'x' in 'Nixon'".

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
	test := []string{
		"a",
		"abcdefgfedcba",
		"abcdeffedcba",
		"abcba",
		"abcedfgfedcb",
	}

	for _, v := range test {
		fmt.Printf("%20s: %v\n", v, isPalindrome(v))
	}
}

func isPalindrome(s string) bool {
	mid := len(s) / 2
	last := len(s) - 1
	for i := 0; i < mid; i++ {
		if s[i] != s[last-i] {
			return false
		}
	}

	return true
