Check string... can u spell it both ways?

				
//**************************************
// Name: Check string... can u spell it both ways?
// Description:This is something useful (I hope). It checks if a string that you provide can be read both ways. It shows how to use recursive functions.

// checkString is a recursive function that runs through the string provided
// as argument and checks if the first and last letters are the same. If that
// is true then it makes a substring out of the original one (cutting away the
// first and last letters and finally calls it self again with the substring as
// argument. Easy right? BTW.. you can use this for numbers as well...
