Programming Exercises

1:

A palindrome is a string that is the same backwards as it is forwards. For example, “tot” and “otto” are rather short palindromes. Write a program that lets a user enter a string and which passes a reference to the string to a bool function. The function should return true if the string is a palindrome and false otherwise. At this point, don't worry about complications such as capitalization, spaces, and punctuation. That is, this simple version will reject “Otto” and “Madam, I'm Adam”. Feel free to scan the list of string methods in Appendix F for methods to simplify the task.
