c++ - Initializing a pointer to point to a character in a string using the pointer pointing to the string -

int ispurepalindrome(const char *sentence){  int i;      if (sentence="")      return 0;  char *begin; char *end; i=strlen(sentence);//i length of sentence string  *begin= &sentence(0);  *end=&sentence[i-1]; 

i'm using dev c++. im trying initialize pointer "begin" point first character in string "sentence", keeps giving me error "assignment makes integer pointer without cast." "*sentence" points string entered user in main. ispalindrome function im writing. suppose return 0 if sentence entered in main null.

there few issues code:

if (sentence="") return 0;  

should be

if (strcmp(sentence,"")==0) return 0; 

---

char *begin; char *end; 

should be

const char *begin; const char *end; 

---

*begin= &sentence(0);  

should be

begin = &sentence[0]; 

---

*end=&sentence[i-1]; 

should be

end = &sentence[i-1];
