offset value

Former Member — Mon, 26 Sep 2005 13:40:39 GMT

Hai,

Iam new to abap can any one solve the above example:

data: c type i,

c1 type i,

len type i,

flag type c.

parameters word(20).

c = 0.

len = strlen( word ).

c1 = len - 1.

len = len / 2.

flag = ' '.

do len times.

if ( wordc(1) <> wordc1(1) ).

flag = 'X'.

endif.

enddo.

if flag = 'X'.

write: / 'Word', word, 'is not Palindrome'.

else.

write: / 'Word', word, 'is Palindrome'.

endif.

Inthe above program

if word = abap

than what is the value of

wordc(1) and wordc1(1)

and how many times the do statement work.

Please explain the above program with the above example.

hi,

you can find out these values through debugging

word+c(1) = 'a'

word+c1(1) = 'b'

do statment execute once.

cheers,

Hi,

i think there is a function too (to compare with your source code) for your problem:

STRING_REVERSE

Hai,

I have one doubt,

here len=len/2

then len =2

so do statement will execute twice, why once.

hi,

sorry for my above answer

word+c(1) = 'a'

word+c1(1) = 'a'

loop will execute 2 times

Hi bhargav,

than what is the value of

wordc(1) and wordc1(1)

here the value of word+c(1) is <b>a</b>

here the value of word+c1(1) is <b>p</b>

and how many times the do statement work.

len = len / 2.

the length of the word divide by 2 that no of times it works.

reward points for helpfull answers and close the thread if your question is solved.

regards,

venu.

hai,

If do statement execute twice than what is the value of wordc(1) and wordc1(1).

please clear this point.

If you have the WORD 'ABAP'

LENGTH = 4

C = 0

C1 = LENGTH - 4.

DO.

IF WORDC(1) <> WORDC1(1).

If this control doesn't fail, then it stop the searching, because it useless to go on

FL_PAL = 'X'.

EXIT.

ENDIF.

Add + 1 to left offset

C = C + 1.

-1 to right offset

C1 = C1 - 1.

IF C = C1.

You stop the research becuase you're comparing the same letter:

EXIT.

ENDIF.

ENDDO.

So:

1 WORD+C(1) = 'A': C = 0

WORD+C1(1) = 'P': C1 = 3.

So stop the research:

IF WORD was 'ABA':

1 WORD+C(1) = 'A': C = 0

WORD+C1(1) = 'A': C1 = 2.

2 WORD+C(1) = 'B': C = 1

WORD+C1(1) = 'B': C1 = 1.

So it stop the research:

and so...

Hi,

The Palindrom is a word which could be read from left to right and from right to left an the result should be the same.

Below you could see my version of programm that you need.

Because of the Palindroms could contain from odd and even numbers of charakters I didn't use "do len times".

REPORT ZZ_PALINDROM .

DATA: C TYPE I,

C1 TYPE I,

LEN TYPE I,

FLAG TYPE C.

PARAMETERS WORD(20).

C = 0.

LEN = STRLEN( WORD ).

C1 = LEN - 1.

WHILE C <> C1.

IF ( WORDC(1) <> WORDC1(1) ).

FLAG = 'X'.

EXIT.

ELSE.

C = C + 1.

C1 = C1 - 1.

ENDIF.

ENDWHILE.

IF FLAG = 'X'.

WRITE: / 'Word', WORD, 'is not Palindrome'.

ELSE.

WRITE: / 'Word', WORD, 'is Palindrome'.

ENDIF.

The value of WORDc(1) will be the first, the second, the third and so on charekters of the WORD and the value of WORDC1(1) will be the last, the prelast and so on charekters of the WORD.

The do statements In your example works len times!?

Best regards
