Answer
Hi Ankit,

 This isn't as difficult as you may think. As we don't do homework here the best I can do for you is provide you with the clues and tools you'll need to accomplish your task.

 You'll need LEN to find the length for the loop to copy each letter in the word. You'll want to work backwards to create a mirror image of the test word. Then compare the original word and the word you've created in your loop using MID$ to see if they are the same. If they are, you have a palindrome.

 I'll be here for, maybe, another hour. If you send me some code maybe I can help you further.
