Python Shorts - Function to check if a string is a palindrome or not

#python #problemsolving #palindrome

A quick solution to create a function to check if a string is a palindrome or not. This uses built in Python string slicing.

Code:
#s is the forward string. s[ : : -1] - includes the whole string, starting at the end, in steps of 1 (ie all characters, reading from the end of the string -- ie the reversed string)

s == s[ : : -1]
