Hello,  
I am learning ADA language at my university and need help with the following question.

1. Write the iterative version and recursive version of a program that determines whether a given word is a palindrome. For instance, eve is a palindrome

2. write a program that reads a given word by the user and prints whether it is a palindrome on the screen.

Your help is very much appreciated! Thank you
