A palindrome is a word or a phrase that is the same when read both forward and backward. Examples are: "bob," "sees," or "never odd or even" (ignoring spaces). Write a program whose input is a word or phrase, and that outputs whether the input is a palindrome.

Ex: If the input is:

bob

the output is:

bob is a palindrome

Ex: If the input is:

bobby

the output is:

bobby is not a palindrome

string = input ()

normal = ""

reverse = ""

for i in range (len (string)):

if string[i]. isalpha ():

normal + = string[i]. lower ()

reverse = string[i]. lower () + reverse

if normal = = reverse:

print (string + " is a palindrome")

else:

print (string + " is not a palindrome")

Explanation:

Loop up to the length of string. Use an if statement to check if a certain character is an alphabet. Check if both the normal and reverse strings are equal, then display that it is a palindrome.
