Question

How to check if the given string is a palindrome? Looking for solutions in any language.

Answer 1

In Python you can do a couple of options

#compare first character with last character

def is_palindrome(string):

character_length = len(string)

midpoint = character_length//2

for i in range(midpoint):

if string[i] != string[-i -1]:

return False

return True

#pythonic solution

def is_palindrome(string):

return string == string[::-1]
