Write a program that read a line of text, changes each uppercase letter
to lowercase and places each letter both in a queue and onto a stack.
The program should then verify whether the line of text is a palindrome


Output:

Please enter a line of text
I am A.I


i AM a.i

This is a palindrome

Show us (the exact code of) what you've tried, explain specifically what
problems you're having, and you'll get plenty of help with this.

Nobody here will do it for you.

But it is not a result of running the program you were asked to write. The
program you write will not produce any upper case letters. The exercise is
such that if you start writing you will not run into any blind alleys and
have to discard a significant amount of work. So start writing and when you
get stuck, *then* post a question.

If you require the user to type only letters as input, it will be easier and
get you started in a more painless fashion. Get clarification as to what is
expected in the punctuation area, and change what you have later on, if
necessary. The decimal point in your sample looks like magic, not a
computer program.

Looking back at it, it seems that instead of checking whether or not the
text is a palindrome, the example that he gave just toggles the case
(i.e., upper case or lower case) of each letter.

I agree, he will need to find out whether punctuation should be included
or not. Most of the times that I have seen people refer to palindromes,
they only consider the order of the letters, and not the spacing or
punctuation, but his requirements may be different. However, based on
(my) common convention, it would indeed be a palindrome, but it would
not be one if punctuation/spacing is significant.

See my first sentence.


To JT,
Please double-check your definition of "palindrome".
