How to check for palindrome using Python logic [closed]

Answer 1

Just for the record, and for the ones looking for a more algorithmic way to validate if a given string is palindrome, two ways to achieve the same (using while and for loops):

def is_palindrome(word):

    letters = list(word)    
    is_palindrome = True
    i = 0

    while len(letters) > 0 and is_palindrome:       
        if letters[0] != letters[(len(letters) - 1)]:
            is_palindrome = False
        else:
            letters.pop(0)
            if len(letters) > 0:
                letters.pop((len(letters) - 1))

    return is_palindrome

And....the second one:

def is_palindrome(word):

    letters = list(word)
    is_palindrome = True

    for letter in letters:
        if letter == letters[-1]:
            letters.pop(-1)
        else:
            is_palindrome = False
            break

    return is_palindrome
