Check if a string is a palindrome

Question

I have a string as input and have to break the string in two substrings. If the left substring equals the right substring then do some logic.

How can I do this?

Answer 1

string test = "Malayalam";
            char[] palindrome = test.ToCharArray();
            char[] reversestring = new char[palindrome.Count()];
            for (int i = palindrome.Count() - 1; i >= 0; i--)
            {
                reversestring[palindrome.Count() - 1 - i] = palindrome[i];

            }

            string materializedString = new string(reversestring);

            if (materializedString.ToLower() == test.ToLower())
            {
                Console.Write("Palindrome!");
            }
            else
            {
                Console.Write("Not a Palindrome!");
            }

            Console.Read();
