2. Set each of the List values to the first 5 even numbers
3. Print them out to the Console

List of Names

1. Create a new List of Strings
2. Add these names to the list: Alice, Bob, Charles, Danielle, Edgar and Frannie

Create a collection of the first 100 Fibonacci numbers

Recall that the Fibonacci series is defined by the the nth number is the sum of the two previous:

f[n] = f[n-1] + f[n-2]  => 0,1,1,2,3,5 ...

Use this information to find and store the first 100 fibonacci numbers.

1. Start with 0 and 1 as the first two numbers
2. Find the next by adding the first two together
3. Ask the user for a number between 1 and 100
4. Print the fibonacci number of the number provided

Check if a string is a palindrome

A palindrome is defined as follows:

A group of characters that is the same forward as it is backwards. Palindromes normally do not take into account letter casing, spaces or punctuation.

Examples of some palindromes:

• Tacocat
• Hannah
• Kayak
• Never odd or even
• Rats live on no evil star
• (EXTRA CHALLENGE) A man, a plan, a canal - Panama!

Write a program that does the following:

1. Asks the user to enter in a word or phrase
2. Checks to see if this string is a palindrome
   • If it is a palindrome, print out "Yes"
   • Otherwise, print out "No"
