TODO: Make a class that will identify a word that is a palindrome. For example:
HANNAH is a palindrome since it is spelled the same way backwards as forwards.
DAMIEN is not. That's cause I'm cooler :P (jk)
"""

class Word():
    """
    This is a Word class. You can make mulitple instances/objects of it (aka multiple words).
    For example:
    >>> hannah = Word('hannah')
    >>> damien = Word('damien')
    >>> hannah.reverse()
    >>> damien.reverse()
    >>> print hannah.getWord()
    hannah
    >>> print damien.getWord()
    neimad

    Classes have public methods and private methods. Private methods are denoted by the underscore on the front (aka _).
       Private methods should not be called outside of the class. So notice in the above example we didn't call
       hannah._reverse('hannah') because that's a private method. Notice that reverse() is allowed to call _reverse() because
       it's inside the class.
