What is the easiest way to run Mysql on a Mac ?

The easiest way to run MySQL on a Mac is to install MAMP. The advantage is that it does not conflict with valet which is another powerful tool for local development specially with Laravel. If you do not want to face the same issue as the lost of your mysql password after installing with homebrew, MAMP is the my fastest solution

See StackOverflow issue : MacOSX homebrew mysql root password

What is a palindrome ?

What is a palindrome ? Find the definition below from the online oxford

a word, phrase, or sequence that reads the same backward as forward, e.g., madam or nurses run.

In the example below only a word palindrome could be identified. Additional conditions would be necessary to analyze phrase or sequences

function isPalindrome($str): bool
{
    $str_length = strlen($str);
    $mid = round($str_length / 2);
    $last_character = $str_length - 1;

    for ($i = 0; $i <= $mid; $i++) {
        if ($str[$i] != $str[$last_character]) {
            return false;
        }
        $last_character--;
    }
    return true;
}

var_dump( isPalindrome('madam'));
var_dump( isPalindrome('nursesrun'));
var_dump( isPalindrome('davad'));
var_dump( isPalindrome('avaava'));

What is the run time complexity ?

It sounds to be O(n/2)

What is the space complexity ?

We do not allocate memory except for few variables as $i, $mid and $last_character

O(1)
