Thanks, I'm sure this'll help me. Right now, I'm rather tired so I'm not gonna be programming tonight. I just wanted to get my topic out there so that I could have something to work with tomorrow and the weekend if needed. I'll be sure to come back and post results or errors once I get going on it.

Okay, I gotta make this program that can recognize a palindrome (word that is spelt the same forwards and back) and tell you if it is one or not.
I never grasped how to minipulate letters, I guess they're strings or chars. Cause I've had to do other programs before that required disecting a word letter for letter and then doing something with those letters, such as a morse code converter. I can do numbers fine, but the alphabet just screws me up

So yeah, any help with how to make the thing flip the word and then recognize if it's the same would be greatly appreciated. Just remember I'm like a total beginner so if you mention an operation like a loop, ya gotta explain that thouroughly. This may be one for e-mailing some code with commentary on it.
But this is the beginners forum so I trust I'll be helped apropraitly.
