Python: How to write a function for palindrome [duplicate]

Question

I try to write a function for palindrome.below is my code

def ispalindrome(string): if len(string) <= 1: return True else: if string[0] == string[-1]: return True else: return False

Only one thing I don't understand is one of my results it says "ispalindrome('123321') should return False", and my result for this one is true. I don't know what to do now. Anyone can help me correct this?

A very basic google search and this answer would have been easy to find. Check this link — Cavin Dsouza

You just check the first and the last element, you didn't check the characther in the middle

def ispalindrome(x): if len(x) <= 1: return True else: n = len(x) for i in range(n//2): if x[i] != x[n-1-i]: return False return True

Also, "123321" is indeed a palindrome.
