Madam, I’m Adam. and other palindromes.

Hey so… palindromes,

 Wat -  Wat  old lady wat

So I didn’t know this before last week, but a palindrome is a word or phrase that reads the same backward or forward, such as kayak or racecar.

Anyways, Angel and I made a program during Ken’s class that takes user input, splits it into words, and feeds back which ones are palindromes and which ones are not, and it works YAY!

Since there’s no built in  reverse function in Python strings, we created a function that reverses a string by slicing it… more about this at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/931092/reverse-a-string-in-python.

So yeah, check out our code at https://github.com/cpvp20/palindrome/blob/master/palindrome.py
