Question

Special words are those words which starts and ends with the same letter.
Examples: EXISTENCE ,COMIC, WINDOW

Palindrome words are those words which read the same from left to right and vice-versa.
Example: MALAYALAM MADAM LEVEL ROTATOR CIVIC
All palindromes are special words, but all special words are not palindromes. Write a program to accept a word check and print whether the word is a palindrome or only special word.

		// Check whether the given  word is a special word

		if (wd.charAt(0) == wd.charAt(wd.length() - 1))
