Revertible Observable
/* Small Knockout Extension to allow for canceling/confirming
* changes to the view model. Defaults to the changed option. Based on code sample from Ryan Niemeier
* http://www.knockmeout.net/2011/03/guard-your-model-accept-or-cancel-edits.html
*
* Please note: You should not use this unless you are
* explicitly confirming or resetting the values in every scenario before you
* reference them again. An unwanted revert may occur if you make changes without confirming and then cancel at a later point.

fs = require('fs')

output += "Case #"+i+": "+val+"\n"
# is a palindrome (expects a string)
isPalindrome = (num) ->

num is reversed
