Palindrom Words

Question

x = input()
print(str(x))
n=len(x)
if n%2==0:
for i in range(0,len(x)//2):
pos =i
if x[pos] != x[len(x)-(pos+1)]:
print("the word is not palindrom")
break
print("The word is palindrom")
else:
for i in range(0,len(x)//2 +1):
pos =i
if x[pos] != x[len(x)-(pos+1)]:
print("the word is not palindrom")
break
print("The word is palindrom")

Where is the error? Thanks very much!

Answer 1

It will always print "The word is palindrom". You can use a variable to avoid that:

palindrome = True
for i in range(0,len(x)//2 +1):
pos =i
if x[pos] != x[len(x)-(pos+1)]:
palindrome = False
break
if palindrome:
print("The word is palindrom")
else:
print('no palindrom')

Also, your break statements aren't indented enough. They will always break the loop in the first iteration
