Not getting the desired output and don't know whats wrong with it

[ViShruti]

Please check the following program and do let me know what is the problem with it. I'm not getting the desired output for it.

The program is to show that the string entered is palindrom or not. Initially I was trying to do it for a particular string and later on when the problem is resolved i'll take input from user. I know there are other methods to do it but what is wrong with it.

class Palin
{
	public static void main(String arg[])
	{

		char a[]= new char[10];

		char c[]={'a','d','a'};

		String s1 = new String(c);
		int l;

		l=s1.length();

		System.out.println("String is "+s1);

		for(int i=0,j=l-1; i<l;i++,j--)
		{
			a[i]=c[j];
		}

		String s2 = new String(a);
		System.out.println("String after reversing is "+ s2);

		if(s1.equals(s2)==true)
		System.out.println("Its a Palindrom");

		else
		System.out.println("Its not a Palindrom");
	}
}

Does this help?

Thanks for replying.

I know there are other ways to do but I just want to know that what's wrong with this one.

Hi shruti,
The problem with your code is your character array initialization.
char a[]= new char[10]; Since your character size is three, rest all characters shall be filled with spaces(not sure but its size wld be 10). So please change the size to 3 or else better way would be to initialize as follows:
char a[] = new char[iSize]; where iSize wld be the size of input array.

char c[]={'a','d','a'};
		char a[]= new char[c.length];
		String s1 = new String(c);
		int l;
 		l=s1.length();
		System.out.println("String is "+s1);
		for(int i=0,j=l-1; i<l;i++,j--)
		{
			a[i]=c[j];
		}
		String s2 = new String(a);
		System.out.println("String after reversing is "+ s2);
		if(s1.equals(s2)==true)
		System.out.println("Its a Palindrom");
		else
		System.out.println("Its not a Palindrom");[/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE]

//char a[]= new char[10];

		char c[]={'a','d','a'};
		char a[]= new char[c.length];
