I wrote a ruby/rails application to validate a palindrome. Here's the published palindrome app on Heroku:

I came up with the code in my head on the way home from work. I came across the method .reverse in rails. This makes checking for a palindrome pretty easy in rails.
After I came home from work I sat down, and ran IRB then input this code:
x = "racecar"
if x == x.reverse
puts "this is a palindrome"
else "this is not a palindrome"
end
It worked. So now I just needed to put this into a published Rails application.
I created a Rails project
Generated a Controller and a some views
in the Index view I put this code on the page:
<%=form_tag(:action =>'results') do %>
<%=text_field_tag(:word) %>
<%= submit_tag("Submit") %>
<% end %>
Then in the controller I put this code:
def results
@word = params[:word]
if @word == @word.reverse
@palindrome = "This is a palindrome"
else
@palindrome = "This is NOT a palindrome"
end
end
Finally on the results page:
<%= @palindrome %>
So basically that simple line of code, is used to verify that a word input into the form is a palindrome or not and the results are put to a results page.
