Special words are those words which start and end with the same letter.Example: EXISTENCE, COMIC, WINDOWPalindrome words are those words which read the same from left to right and vice-versa.Example: MALYALAM, MADAM, LEVEL, ROTATOR, CIVICAll palindromes are special words but all special words are not palindromes.
Write a program to accept a word. Check and display whether the word is a palindrome or only a special word or none of them.
🚀 Programming Example
Special words are those words which start and end with the same letter.
Example: EXISTENCE, COMIC, WINDOW
Palindrome words are those words which read the same from left to right and vice-versa.
Example: MALYALAM, MADAM, LEVEL, ROTATOR, CIVIC
All palindromes are special words but all special words are not palindromes.
