Slacker's solution:

Reading the number as a string is no problem. It is extra work to read
it as an int.

See http://mindprod.com/applet/fileio.html

reverse the string. Compare.

To reverse the string without using reverse, cheat, and see how
reverse does it by looking at the code in source.zip

But the point is to LEARN java, not create a palindrome detector, so
this is a stupid solution.
