Programming Praxis

Today’s exercise provides simple finger exercise for a Friday morning:

A palindrome is a string that reads the same forward and backward; for instance “abcdedcba” is a palindrome. A rotated palindrome is a string that reads the same forward and backward, either directly or in any rotation of the string; for instance, “dedcbaabc” is a rotated palindrome, because if the last three letters at the end of the string are rotated to the beginning of the string, it becomes “abcdedcba” which is a palindrome.

Your task is to write a program to determine if a string is a rotated palindrome. When you are finished, you are welcome to read or run a suggested solution, or to post your own solution or discuss the exercise in the comments below.
