Python program to check a palindrome

def is_palindrome(text):
    text = text.lower()
    return text == text[::-1]

for word in ("madam", "Level", "python"):
    if is_palindrome(word):
        print(word, "is a palindrome")
    else:
        print(word, "is not a palindrome")

Output:

How it works

• lower() changes the text to lowercase, so “Level” becomes “level”.
• text[::-1] is the reversed string.
• If the text equals its reverse, it is a palindrome.
