K Palindromes
You probably already know what a palindrome is: a string to results in the same word, whether read left to right, or right to left. A K Palindrome is when a string can be tranformed into a palindrome by changing K characters at most. Regular palindromes have K=0.
Your challenge today is to write a method which takes a string and a value for k and returns true if it the string qualifies as a K palindrome.
