Python palindrome program not working

Question

I\'ve written a simple program in python which checks if the sentence is palindrome. But I can\'t figure out why isn\'t it working. The results is always False. Does anyone know

Answer 1

You algorithm is fine, the only problem is that you don't return the true result through the recursion, you have to return the isPalindrome result when calling it recursively:

else:
    if word[0] == word[-1]:
        return isPalindrome(word[1:-1]) #this changed
    else:
        return False
