I’ve just started java, and I am stuck at basic problem of to check palindrome of string. I have come up with algorithm in which I reverse string then check if(str2.equals(str)) if its palindrome return true else false. But I am unable to return boolean in my string function due error

Syntax error on token "String", record expected

I tried typecasting but its not working. What is best way to return boolean or any other data type in another data type?

package fundamentals;
import java.util.*;
public class TestClass {

    
     public static boolean checkPalindrome(String str, String str2)
     {if(str2.equals(str)) {
            
            return true;
            }
         
        return false;
            
     }

//   
    public static String reverseString(String str) {    
        //Your code goes here
        String str2 = new String();
        int len = str.length();
        for(int i=len;i>0;i--)
        {  
            Character temp = str.charAt(i-1);
            str2= str2+temp;
            temp = null;
        }
        boolean ans =  checkPalindrome(str,str2);
        return ans;
                
                
                
        
    }


    public static void main (String[] args) {
        Scanner s =new Scanner(System.in);
       
        String str = new String();
        
        str = s.next();
        
        System.out.println(reverseString(str));
        
//      System.out.println(str);
//      
//      for(int i=0;i<str.length();i++)
//      {
//          char ch = str.charAt(i);
//          
//          System.out.println(ch);
//          
//      }
//      
        

     }

    
}

    

>Solution :

if you want to convert boolean to string, u can use the inbuilt Boolean.toString(boolean b) method
