C - Write program to check palindromes

Requirements

A palindrome is a phrase that reads the same backward as forward, ignoring whitespace and punctuation.

For example, "Madam, i'm adam" and "level" are palindromes.

write a program that will determine whether a string entered from the keyboard is a palindrome.

#define __STDC_WANT_LIB_EXT1__ 1
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdbool.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <ctype.h>
#define MAX_LEN 500                             // Maximum sentence length

int main(void)
{
  char sentence[MAX_LEN];                        // Stores the sentence to be tested
  char sentence_chars[MAX_LEN];                  // Stores the sentence without punctuation and spaces
  size_t j = 0;                                  // Index to character position
  size_t length = 0;                             // Length of a string

  printf("Enter a sentence to be tested:\n");
  gets_s(sentence, MAX_LEN);//from  ww  w . j  a v a2s  .com

  // Copy only letters as lowercase
  for (size_t i = 0; i < strnlen_s(sentence, MAX_LEN); ++i)
    if (isalpha(sentence[i]))
      sentence_chars[j++] = tolower(sentence[i]);
  sentence_chars[j] = '\0';                      // Append string terminator

  length = strnlen_s(sentence_chars, MAX_LEN);   // Get the string length

  bool isPalindrome = true;
  for (size_t i = 0; i < length / 2; ++i)
  {
    if (sentence_chars[i] != sentence_chars[length - 1 - i])
    {
      isPalindrome = false;
      break;
    }
  }
  printf("\n The sentence you entered is%sa palindrome.\n", isPalindrome ? " " : " not ");
  return 0;
}
