CSCI 160 Programming Exercise 2,   Fall 2005

DUE:  
The assignment is due on or before 3am,  Fri November 25.  This
assignment is worth 20 objective points.  Your solution will be graded
on the basis of its run-time behaviour and on the clarity and
simplicity of the source code.  See the marking guide in
~pwalsh/Pex2/markingGuide. With regard to simplicity and clarity,
follow the ASAP principle: as simple as possible.

INSTRUCTIONS:
Issue the command:
               cp -r ~pwalsh/Pex2 .

to copy the programming exercise work directory to your account.
Locate to Pex2 (enter the command  cd Pex2) and use the CSCI 160
Exercise Development Utility to test, verify and submit your
programming exercise.

QUESTION:
Description
===========
Write a C++ program that will read a sequence of character from stdin
and determine if the sequence is a palindrome.  Your palindrome test
should be case insensitive and should ignore non alpha-numeric
characters.

Sample Output
=============
Run 1
-=-=-
Palindrome Sequence Tester
Enter the string to be tested (terminated with a period (',')):
Abba.
The sequence is a palindrome.

Run 2
-=-=-
Palindrome Sequence Tester
Enter the string to be tested (terminated with a period (',')):
Abbc.
The sequence is NOT a palindrome.

Assumptions/Restrictions 
========================
The sequence of characters to be tested is terminated by a period ('.').
