How to Check if a String is a Palindrome

A palindrome is a word or phrase that reads the same backward as forward. To check for a palindrome, you can reverse the string and compare it to the original.

Example: Checking for Palindrome

# Check if a string is a palindrome
word = "madam"
if word == word[::-1]:
    print(f"{word} is a palindrome.")
else:
    print(f"{word} is not a palindrome.")

Output

madam is a palindrome.

Explanation: The string is compared to its reversed version to check if it is a palindrome.
