Question

A palindrome is a word or a phrase that is the same when read both forward and backward. Examples are: "bob," "sees," or "never odd or even" (ignoring spaces). Write a program whose input is a word or phrase, and that outputs whether the input is a palindrome.
Ex: If the input is:
bob
the output is:
bob is a palindrome
Ex: If the input is:
bobby
the output is:
bobby is not a palindrome

Answer 1

Answer:

string = input()

normal = ""

reverse = ""

for i in range(len(string)):

   if string[i].isalpha():

       normal += string[i].lower()

       reverse = string[i].lower() + reverse

if normal == reverse:

   print(string + " is a palindrome")

else:

   print(string + " is not a palindrome")

Explanation:

• Loop up to the length of string.
• Use an if statement to check if a certain character is an alphabet.
• Check if both the normal and reverse strings are equal, then display that it is a palindrome.
