ESc101 Laboratory Assignment 
	                   Thursday of Week of 20/09/04


The Assignment consists of THREE programs. USE OF ARRAYS IS NOT ALLOWED.

NOTE: Use objects of StringBuffer Class. (String Class represents fixed-length, 
immutable character sequences. In contrast, StringBuffer Class represents growable 
and writable character sequences.) 

1) You are given a string. Check if it is a palindrome. A string is a palindrome 
   if its the same if read from left to right or right to left. For example, the 
   string "malayalam" is a palindrome.

2) You are given 2 strings str1 and str2. Check if str1 is a substring of str2. 
   str1 might be a contiguous or non-contiguous substring of str2. For example, 
   both, "egg" and "brian" are substrings of "borrowingandbegging".

3) Write a program to count the number of ways n objects can be put in 5 
   indistinguishable containers. User will input n.
