Scratch 101: Checking for Palindromes

Hello and welcome to Scratch 101! In this tutorial we will be creating a program which checks for palindromes. A palindrome is any word/concept which reads the same in the forward direction as in the backwards direction. For example the word "racecar" is a palindrome because reading it from the right of the left gives you the same word. For a longer list of examples, please see this page.


Objective:
To learn what the "ceiling" function is.


End Result:
Write the word "racecar" in the program. It should return this result:




Graphical Setup:
The graphical template is located here:
Scripts:
This goes into the Cow Sprite.


Common Mistakes:


  • Make sure that you type in the correct numbers!


  • Make sure that you have set all of your variables set correctly and applied properly!
