SECTION II
21. Write a Java program called “Question21” in a class named “Palidrome” to create an array called “mynumbers” of three integers 454, 567 and 323 and determine if each of the three integers is a palindrome or not using looping control structure. Palindrome is a sequence that reads the same backwards as forwards. (20 marks)

If the password matches correctly, it should display the message “VALID password entered”, or else display the message “INCORRECT password entered”. (20 marks)
