Palindrome String Verification Example : console based java program

Before discussing simple string palindrome program in java , we should understand the term palindrome.
A Palindrome is a word , phrase , number or other sequence of symbols or elements  , whose meaning may be interpreted as the same way in eother forward direction or in reverse direction .

But here we use  simple string palindrome program as a way to testify that half the string is same as the other half of the  string .

The word Palindrome was coined from the Greek roots palin (meaning again ) and dromos (meaning way or direction ) .The term was coined by Neb Johnson in the 17th century .

Its uses are found in every field like poetry , science , number , Phases , Molecular Biology , Asostics ,Music  ,Biological Structures , Computation theory etc.

Below example is recursion based . So  that it reduces the length of the code and make the program simple to read and understand .

String Palindrome Example :

 civic, radar, level, rotor, kayak, reviver, racecar, redder, madam, malyalam, and refer


String Palindrome Phrases Example
"Eva, can I stab bats in a cave?", "Mr. Owl ate my metal worm", "Was it a car or a cat I saw?", "A nut for a jar of tuna", "Do geese see God?", "Ma is as selfless as I am", "On a clover, if alive erupts a vast pure evil, a fire volcano." "Dammit, I'm mad!", "A Toyota's a Toyota", "Go hang a salami, I'm a lasagna hog", and "A Santa lived as a devil at NASA"

            //prompt the user
            System.out.print("Enter a word to see if its a Palindrome; ");
            str= console.next();
            System.out.println();
            //
            //the answer
            
            if(isPalindrome(str))

            System.out.print("test another(y/n)? ");
            another= console.next();

    public static boolean isPalindrome(String str)
    {
        return isPalindrome(str,0,str.length()-1);
