Why are we getting YES as the output?

#1

According to me, the output should be NO but answer says YES Please explain

#2

if you are talking about the following code:
void f(){

string s=”abhuhba” ;
bool flag=false;
for(int i=0;i<s.length()/2;i++)
if(s[i]!=s[s.length()-1-i])flag=false;
if(flag)cout<<”YES”;

else cout<<”NO”;

}
Then, yes you are correct, Actually there is a typing mistake.

Instead of initializing flag with false, it should be bool flag = true;
This program checks whether a string is palindrome or not. So we check till length/2 and match string characters from first and last. If we encounter any non matching character then we set flag to false and break from the loop.

Hope it Helps.
