Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 2, Problem 16PS
Explanation of Solution
Opinion on the argument that languages are too complex are too dangerous to use:
The language should not be complex, but it should be simple and small because of the following reasons:
- A Complex language never gets popular with programmers.
- Programs written in complex language are less readable and understandable.
- So, any bug in the
program can be fixed by only proficient programmers of the language.
- So, any bug in the
- Programs not written by skilled programmers in complex languages can be dangerous in terms of logic and or resource utilizations and may also lead to fatal errors...

Write a program that reads a list of integers from input and determines if the list is a palindrome (values are identical from first to last and last to first). The input begins with an integer indicating the length of the list that follows. Assume the list will contain a maximum of 20 integers. Output "yes" if the list is a palindrome and "no" otherwise. The output ends with a newline.
Hints: - use a for loop to populate the array based on the specified size (the first number entered)
- use a for loop to check first value with last value, second value with second from end, etc.
- if the values do not match, set a Boolean variable to flag which statement to output (yes or no)
Ex: If the input is (remember to include spaces between the numbers):
6 1 5 9 9 5 1
the output is:
yes
Ex: If the input is:
5 1 2 3 4 5
the output is: C++ coding
