Python program to check if String is Palindrome or not

Here we will write a program to check whether the string is palindrome or not in Python.

A palindrome is a string which is same read forward or backwards.

For example: “dad” is the same in forward or reverse direction. Other example is ‘Malayalam’ etc.

Python program to check if String is Palindrome or not:

# Program to check if a string
#  is palindrome or not

# change this value for a different output
my_str = 'malayalam'

# make it suitable for caseless comparison
my_str = my_str.casefold()

# reverse the string
rev_str = reversed(my_str)

# check if the string is equal to its reverse
if list(my_str) == list(rev_str):
   print("It is palindrome")
else:
   print("It is not palindrome")

OUTPUT:

It is palindrome
