Assignment #1
(Due   21 September 1984)


    Write a PASCAL program to read a saying from the terminal and determine whether or not the saying is a palindrome.  The saying that is typed should be in all uppercase or all lowercase letters, with no punctuation of any kind.  The saying may be up to 40 characters long.

    A palindrome is a word or saying that reads the same forwards and backwards (after perhaps regrouping the letters).   Here are some examples of palindromes:
     RADAR
     MADAM IM ADAM
     NAME NO ONE MAN
     ABLE WAS I ERE I SAW ELBA
    Your program should be run on at least five sayings, some of which are palindromes and others which are not.  After reading in a saying, the program should display a message that reports whether or not the saying is a palindrome.  You may choose whatever type of loop you want for the program, as long as it can process at least five sayings and has a definite termination.

    Suggested report form for a saying:
     NAME NO ONE MAN                         is a palindrome

                             or

     JUST SOMETHING OR OTHER                 is not a palindrome
