How to Check if a String Is a Palindrome in Python (Beginner Friendly Tutorial)
In this video you’ll learn how to check if a string is a palindrome in Python — meaning the word reads the same forward and backward.
We start with simple words, then build up to phrases with spaces, and show different versions of the function from basic to optimized one-liners.
What you’ll learn:
What a palindrome is and how it works
How to reverse a string in Python
Using slicing [::-1] to get reversed strings
Returning boolean values from a function
Removing spaces with .replace()
Testing both single words and full phrases
Writing shorter & cleaner Python code
By the end, you’ll know how to write your own palindrome checker and improve code efficiency step-by-step.
