Perito Sep 29, 2009, 07:27 AM If a palindrome is the same read forward and backward, then this is simple. Simply create a string of random characters using only numerals. Once the string is half as long as you want the final string to be, add the characters to the end of the string, but in reverse order. You also can, optionally, skip the last character of the original string as it can stand alone. Here's one way to do it, but certainly not the only way. Private Function GeneratedPalindromeValue(ByVal DesiredLength As Integer) As Integer Dim tStr As String = "" Dim ProcessingLength As Integer = DesiredLength \ 2 ' Note integer division Dim tChar As String Randomize() ' so we don't get the same string every time we run this. For i As Integer = 0 To ProcessingLength tChar = Rnd().ToString ' generate a "Single" and convert it to a string. tStr += tChar.Substring(tChar.Length - 1, 1) ' grab the last numeral in the string Next Dim J As Integer = tStr.Length - 1 ' index to point to characters in tStr If (DesiredLength \ 2) * 2 <> DesiredLength Then ' odd length? J -= 1 ' odd length, don't duplicate the last character ProcessingLength -= 1 ' so we don't duplicate the middle character End If For i As Integer = 0 To ProcessingLength tStr += tStr.Substring(J, 1) J -= 1 ' decrement j, the index. Next Return Integer.Parse(tStr) End Function Copyright ©2005-, Ask Me Help Desk
