A song of palindromes....

"Bob"

I, man, am regal - a German am I
Never odd or even
If I had a hi-fi
Madam, I'm Adam
Too hot to hoot
No lemons, no melon
Too bad I hid a boot
Lisa Bonet ate no basil
Warsaw was raw
Was it a car or a cat I saw?

Rise to vote, sir
Do geese see god?
"Do nine men interpret?" "Nine men," I nod
Rats live on no evil star
Won't lovers revolt now?
Race fast, safe car
Pa's a sap
Ma is as selfless as I am
May a moody baby doom a yam?

Ah, Satan sees Natasha
No devil lived on
Lonely Tylenol
Not a banana baton
No "x" in "Nixon"
O, stone, be not so
O Geronimo, no minor ego
"Naomi," I moan
"A Toyota's a Toyota"
A dog, a panic in a pagoda

Oh no! Don Ho!
Nurse, I spy gypsies - run!
Senile felines
Now I see bees I won
UFO tofu
We panic in a pew
Oozy rat in a sanitary zoo
God! A red nugget! A fat egg under a dog!
Go hang a salami, I'm a lasagna hog

I've heard this song so many times, and I never got that they were palindromes. Thank you for making me realize that this Weird Al song was just as brilliant as all his others; I just didn't understand it.

Its okay... a lot of those palindromes I have seen before so I know he didn't write them himself...

Now, if the ENTIRE SONG was a palindrome, then I'd be impressed.

So would the program use a dictionary to find the latter half of a start you put?

For instance you enter, "Dog"

Parse each letter then use the hex to reverse it, search the dictionary to find "god"?

hex to reverse it? lol.

Yes, it's going to use a dict, and basically what i would do is start with a sentence fragment with a randomly chosen word, and set a randomly chosen word count limit on the sentence. Then, begin adding words that still allow the sentence to form a possible palindrome (i.e., look at a word, check if palindrome is still possible, if so add it, if not remove it). If no words fit the criteria, remove the last word added and try again. Basically, a randomized backtracking search through the dictionary of words.

to make it as efficient as possible, as always you would need to use proper search methods and data structures.

this is just the way i would hack out a quick program to spit out random palindrome sentences. it might make sense to use a grammar parsing program to check the validity of sentences as they are built so as to avoid garbage sentences.
