py_challenge#1.Palindrome string(s)

I recently started learning Python. You only learn it by using it! This is a small task published in GeeksforGeeks. Let's vote for the best solution! Given a string, write a python function to check if it is palindrome or not. A string is said to be palindrome if reverse of the string is same as string. For example, "radar" is palindrome, but "radix" is not palindrome. Examples: Input : malayalam Output : Yes Input : geeks Output : No --from GeeksforGeeks:Python

Hi all, thank you for sharing your codes! Let's set a dealine of Berlin time 0 o' clock this Friday... I am currently trying to design for a unitest, not for sure yet... If I succeed, the finnal performance would be determined by both test and vote. Have fun!

Hi, as it is approaching Friday, we are closing this challenge. You all did the work correctly to recognize a Palindrome string. Ulisses used string reverse method, Bang and Bogdan used for loop to solve the issue, and Robin gave an interaction possibillity~ Well done, guys. As I mentioned before, we will chose the one with most votes, so Ulisses you got it! Also, when I think of unitest, I found that my description was quite unclear. So I decide to open a second challenge with it. You are all invited. For a first glance, here is the unitest, not fully done yet though~ https://code.sololearn.com/cDrQgxmyNQB1/?ref=app

def is_palindrome(str): return (not (False in [str[i]==str[-i-1] for i in range(len(str)//2)])) Yes, this could be solved in simpler ways, but this is the beauty of programming - finding interesting new ways of solving things :)
