c program to find the length of a string without using the built-in function and check palindrome or not

/*----------------------------------------------------
Output
Enter a string
madam
The length of the string 'madam' = 5
madam is a palindrome

RUN2
Enter a string
good
The length of the string 'good' = 4
good is not a palindrome
