Plaindromes in Python.

A palindrome is a phrase, a word, or a sequence that reads the same forward and backward. One such example will be pip! An example of such a phrase will be ‘nurses run’.

Code:

>>> def isPalindrome(string):
      left,right=0,len(string)-1
      while right>=left:
              if not string[left]==string[right]:
                       return False
              left+=1;right-=1
              return True
<span style="font-weight: 400">>>> isPalindrome('redrum murder')</span>
True

>>> isPalindrome('CC.')
False

Well, there are other ways to do this too. Let’s try using an iterator.

>>> def isPalindrome(string):
      left,right=iter(string),iter(string[::-1])
      i=0
      while i<len(string)/2:
             if next(left)!=next(right):
                      return False
             i+=1
             return True
>>> isPalindrome('redrum murder')
True

>>> isPalindrome('CC.')
False

>>> isPalindrome('CCC.')
False

>>> isPalindrome('CCC')
True
