i am a kookie in C++ ,and don't understand many things like following
example.

Write a function template palindrome that takes a vector parameter and
returns TRue or false according to whether the vector does or does not
read the same forward as backward .

can someone help me?thx!!

We don't do homework.
As this is trivial, the answer is probably in your book or lessons.

Kind of an odd request. I would expect such a function to take a
basic_string, not a vector.

Or two iterators.

I would probably expect it to take two iterators, which would make it
possible to be used with any standard containers, basic_string included.

Noah said the same thing. Two bi-directional iterators? That makes
sense; the string might contain more than one word and using iterators
would allow one to isolate each word.

The first thing to do when confronted with some odd sounding request such as
this is to belabor the word defintions. From the first hit on <define:
palindrome> on google:

"A sequence that reads the same in either direction;
in genetics, refers to an enzyme recognition sequence
that reads the same on both strands of DNA."

Hey, what about "being a kookie"? Does it mean OP is sweet and edible?

I think it's a variation of "a kook" and not of "a cookie".
