February 9, 2022

This function takes a string as input and returns True if string is palindrome and
False otherwise. A palindrome is a symmetric sequence of characters, reading
the same forward and backward.
For example: radar, anna, mom, dad, …

>Solution :

You can do this like the below:

def is_palindrome(phrase):
    string = ""
    for char in phrase:
        if char.isalnum():
            string += char
    print(string)
    return string[::-1].casefold() == string.casefold()


word = input("Please enter a word to check: ")
if palindrome_sentence(word):
    print("'{}' is a palindrome".format(word))
else:
    print("'{}' is not a palindrome".format(word))
