Question

Testing to see if a word is a palindrome. Using pointers and not arrays??

My code is:

bool testPalindrome(char *str)
{
   char *front = str;
   char *rear = str-strlen(str)-1;
   str = str + strlen(str) - 1;
  
  
   for (unsigned i = 0; i<strlen(str); i++)

{
       if (*front++ != *rear--)
       {
           cout << "Not a Palindrome." << endl;
           return false;
       }
       else
       {
           cout << "It's a Palindrome." << endl;
           return true;
       }
   }
   return false;
}

It is saying everything is not a palindrome even if it is.

what is wrong?

and thanks for the help.
