            }
            sr.close();
        }
    }
    everything goes well except with the code 3 and 5 im having an error "cannot access InToPost"


    thanks

    Hey jaysoncutie,

    I attempted to compile your code and I get an error in the Palindrome class here:

    [B]if(!theStack.empty() && input.charAt(j) == theStack.peek()){[/B]
    "Incompatable operand types char and Object"

    You need to address this issue...

    When I comment out this part of the code and run the application, I do not get any errors.
    Please use [highlight=Java] code [/highlight] tags when posting your code.

    Default Re: Need Help Stack Error

    that's crucial code to his program, javapf You're trying to compare a String with a character, and it's failing. I'd suggest doing this:
    if(!theStack.empty() && input.subString(j,j+1).equals(theStack.peek())){

    or, alternatively do this:
    if(!theStack.empty() && theStack.peek().equals((String) input.charAt(j))){
