Implement the missing code, denoted by ellipses. You may not modify the pre-existing code.
Given a word
, check whether it is a palindrome or not. A string is considered to be a palindrome if it reads the same in both directions.
Example
-
For
word = "aibohphobia"
, the output should be
solution(word) = true
; -
For
word = "hehehehehe"
, the output should be
solution(word) = false
.
Input/Output
-
[execution time limit] 4 seconds (py3)
-
[input] string word
A string containing lowercase English letters.
Guaranteed constraints:
1 ≤ word.length ≤ 20
. -
[output] boolean
true
if the givenword
is a palindrome,false
otherwise.
def solution(word):
return word == word[::-1]
