"""1.) Understand the problem
Ask the user for a string and print out whether this string is a palindrome or not.
(A palindrome is a string that reads the same forwards and backwards.)

2.) Plan a solution
Algorithm:

- Treat the string as a list
- Iterate through the list
- if the string is equal forwards as it is backwards
- print the entire string
- else
- print error



3.) Carry out the plan
"""
name = input("Give me a word and I'll tell you if it's a palindrome")

if name[::-1] == name[0:]:
  
	print(name, " is a palindrome")

else:
  
	print(name, " is not a palindrome")



"""
4.) Examine your results for accuracy:

Input: 
name = racecar
name = apple

Output:

racecar is a palindrome
apple is not a palindrome
