One way to check whether a word is a palindrome is to take each letter of the word one at a time and to place them onto a pile. The letters are then read back from these structures and, if all letters match, the word is a palindrome.e.g tot.

Another way to do this is simply copy the string to a StringBuffer, then reverse it with StringBuffer.reverse() and compare the two (probably case-insensitively).

Also, a palindrome may be more than one word.
