arrays?

[Jeremy Swain]

hello all. i am working on a program that decides if a word or a sentence is a palindrome. this is my first time using JOption. here is my code:

import javax.swing.*;
 
    public class swain1Palindrome
   {
       public static void main (String[ ] args)
      {
         String inputSentence;
         int leftCharInputSentence, rightCharInputSentence;
         
         inputSentence = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Enter a sentence or word: ");
      getDecision();
      getResponce();
      
      private void getDecision()
      {
         rightCharInputSentence = inputSentence.length() - 1;
         leftCharInputSentence = 0;
      
      while ((inputSentence.charAt(leftCharInputSentence) == inputSentence.charAt(rightCharInputSentence)) && 
            (leftCharInputSentence < rightCharInputSentence))
         {
            leftCharInputSentence++;
            rightCharInputSentence--;
         }
      }
      
      private void getResponce()
      {
         if (leftCharInputSentence < rightCharInputSentence)
         {
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, inputSentence + notPalindrome);
         }
         else
         {
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, inputSentence + isPalindrome);
         }
      }
      
      public void aPalindrome(String isPalindrome)
      {
      isPalindrome = " is a Palindrome.";
      }
      
      public void notPalindrome(String notAPalindrome)
      {
      notAPalindrome = " is NOT a Palindrome";
      }
      
    }
      
   }

Why are you mixing algorithm and presentation??

Code two classes:

PalindromeFinder and PalindromeUI.

Implement the logic in the finder, the UI gets the input from the user.
