/**

* A word that reads the same backward as forward is called a palindrome,

* e.g., "mom", "dad", "racecar", "madam", and "Radar" (case-insensitive).

*

* Write a program called TestPalindromicWord, that prompts user for a word

* and prints ""xxx" is|is not a palindrome".

*

* Hints: Read in a word and convert to lowercase via in.next().toLowercase().
