title: Simple Palindrome Detector
body: <p>I'm working on a palindrome detector. I've already managed to make it work in some cases. When I type in a word like "Abba" it comes back as a palindrome. Great! But it doesn't do the same thing if I enter "cat". I can't use loops for this. Any ideas?</p>
  
  <pre><code>public class Palindrome {
      public static void main(String[]args) {
          Scanner in=new Scanner(System.in);
  
          System.out.print("Enter word");
  
  
          String start = in.nextLine();
          String end=start;
  
          boolean isPalindrome = (start == end);
  
          if (isPalindrome) {
              System.out.print("This is a palindrome");}
          else
              System.out.print("This is not a palindrome");
  
      } 
  }
  </code></pre>
