Are they really simple to program using unix shell scripting ??

[sanjeevkm]

HI!
I feel that I know some unix shell scripting.But the following are two shell scripting problems, first seemed to me very easy but :-( I could not solve it !! I will be really thankful if somebody cud solve it for me.
However hints are welcome but I am interested in full solution(Please use korn shell or bourne shell standards).
1.Write a shell program to check whether the given string is a palindrome or not.

2.Write a shell program to sort the given list of number in ascending order using bubble sort Method.

Thanx a lot in advance
Sanjeev
