Mr program is compiling but not running correctly ... please help

[JILIAN]

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#define SIZE 80

int main ()
{

char word[SIZE];
int i;
int length =0;
int palindrome ;


printf("Please enter a word\n");
//printf("terminated by -1\n");
//do
// {
scanf("%s", word);
i++;
//}
//while

(word[i-1] != -1 && i < SIZE);
// length = i -1;

for (i=0; i < length/2 && palindrome == 1 ;i++)
{
if (word[i] != word[length - i - 1]) /*test if not the same */
palindrome = 0;
}


if (palindrome == 1)
printf("array is a palindrome\n");
else
printf("array is not a palindrome\n");
return 0;
}

What is it supposed to do?

What does it actually do?

IT is supposd to find out if a word is a palindrome or not

[horace1]

before the for() statement you need to initialse the variables
length=strlen(word);
palindrome=1 ;
