Palindrome Words ISC 2013 Practical

A palindrome is a word that may be read the same way in either direction.

Accept a sentence in uppercase which is terminated by either “.”, “?” or “!”. Each word of the sentence is separated by a single blank space.

Perform the following tasks:
(a) Display the count of palindromic words in the sentence.
(b) Display the palindromic words in the sentence.

Example of palindromic words:
MADAM, ARORA, NOON

Test your program with the sample data and some random data:

Example 1:
INPUT: MOM AND DAD ARE COMING AT NOON.
OUTPUT: MOM DAD NOON
NUMBER OF PALINDROMIC WORDS: 3

Example 2:
INPUT: NITIN ARORA USES LIRIL SOAP.
OUTPUT: NITIN ARORA LIRIL
NUMBER OF PALINDROMIC WORDS: 3

Example 3:
INPUT: HOW ARE YOU?
OUTPUT: NO PALINDROMIC WORDS
