      StringBuffer a1=new StringBuffer(s1);
      StringBuffer a2=new StringBuffer((a1.reverse()));
      
      if(a1.equalsIgnoreCase(a2))
      {
         System.out.println(" the string is a palindrome ");
        }
        else
        {
            System.out.println(" the string is not a palindrome");
        }
    }
    public static void main()
    {
      StringPalindrome a=new StringPalindrome();
      a.check();
    }
