A palindrome is a sentence that reads the same backwards and forwards, when the spaces are removed. For example, "madam im adam". Can you write a program that identifies if a sentence is a palindrome?

Note: The input will not contain any capital letters or punctuation.

Can anyone help me with this... my code is returning false all the way down... I'm not seeing where I went wrong:

String clean = word.replace(" ", "");

cont...

    String reverse = "";

    for(int x = clean.length(); x > 0; x = x - 1){
    reverse = reverse + clean.charAt(x - 1);
  }

    if(clean != reverse){
        System.out.println("false");
    }
    else if(clean == reverse){
        System.out.println("true");
    }

Working Ruby boilerplate:
def palindrome?(string)

end

t = gets.to_i
t.times do
    sentence = gets.chomp
    print palindrome?(sentence), "\n"
end

Trying this again (having trouble with formatting the code):

`def palindrome?(string)

end

t = gets.to_i
t.times do
sentence = gets.chomp
print palindrome?(sentence), "\n"
end`
