  * What is a palindrome? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palindrome
  * Receives a string and returns whether it can be rearranged to become a palindrome or not
  * The string can only be a palindrome if the count of ALL characters is even or if the ONLY ONE character count is odd
  * Input is a string
