Python program to check whether the inputted string is a Palindrome or not - Codicaly

-

 In this post, we are going to check whether an inputted string is a Palindrome or not.

What is Palindrome ?

             A Palindrome is a word, number, phrase, or other sequence of characters that reads the same backward as forward, such as madam or racecar. That means if the reverse of the inputted string is the same as that of the original, it is Palindrome otherwise not.

Pre-requisites :

  • Python Basics
  • Strings concept
  • Conditional statements.

Program :

a=input('Enter the phrase : ')
reverse=a[::-1]
if (reverse==a):
    print(a,'is a pallindrome')
else:
    print(a,'is not a pallindrome')












Explanation :




1. First we need to input the word for which we need to check it is a Palindrome or not. Using the input function we are inputting the phrase. Here we are not specifying anything before input like int or float. Hence it would take as a string that is the default.




2. To check we need to compare the reverse of the phrase with the original. Here we are creating the reverse of the inputted phrase and assigning it to reverse. We are using the string slicing method for reversing. The third argument is the step value. If the first two arguments are left like this and the step value is given as -1, it will return the reverse of the given string. If the inputted string is 'maths', it will return 'shtam'.





3. Now we created the reverse and have the original. We need to compare whether the reverse is the same as the original(a). For comparing we are using a comparison operator equal to (==). This returns true only when the L.H.S is the same as R.H.S. This is the condition. We are using 'if statement' for proceeding with other steps. If statement only proceeds when the 'if condition' is true.  




4. As from the indentation, we know that it is under the if statement. This statement only proceeds if the 'if condition' is true. If the reverse of the phrase and original phrase is the same, 'if condition' is true. If that is true, then the inputted phrase is Palindrome. We are printing them using the print statement.




5. This else statement proceeds only when the ' if condition' fails. 





6. As due to indentation, we know that it is under the else statement. If the reverse of the inputted string is not as same as the original phrase. Then the if statement fails. Now the else statement executes. Then, it will not be a palindrome. We are printing them using the print statement.

Input/Output :

For non-palindrome :

Non-Palindrome







For Palindrome :

Palindrome

Python Program to Print Fibonacci series - Codicaly

  In this post, we are going to write a program to print the Fibonacci series. General idea :               In mathematics, the  Fibonacci number  is a sequence , called the  Fibonacci sequence , such that each number is the sum of the two preceding ones, starting from 0 and 1. Like 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21........... In this sequence, 0 and 1 are default numbers. Then the sum of 0 and 1 is 1.Then the sum of 1 and 1 is 2. Then the sum of 1 and 2 is 3. Then the sum of 2 and 3 is 5. And so on. Pre-Requisites : Python Basics Iteration ( For loop) Program : n=int(input("Enter the number of terms")) total=0 a=0 b=1 print(a) print(b) for i in range(0,n-2):     total=a+b     print(total)     a=b     b=total Explanation : 1.First we need to input the number of terms we need to print. Here we are doing that using print. 2.Here in these lines we are initializing the total to 0, a to 0, and b to 1. 'a' is the first element and 'b' is the second element. 3. Here we are printin

Python - Program to find the given number is a prime or composite number

  In this post, we are going to check whether an inputted number is a prime number or a composite number. What is a Prime number or a Composite number ?     A prime number is a number that has only two factors i.e, 1, and the number itself.  A composite number is a number that has more than two factors. A number is said to factor that when it divides the other number it leaves no remainder.  Generally, the factors lie between 1 and the number itself. Pre-requisites : Python introduction List concept Conditional statements  Program :  a=int(input("Enter the integer:")) list1=[] # empty list for factors for i in range(1, a+1):     if (a%i==0):         list1.append(i) if len(list1)== 2:     print("The given number ",a," is a prime number.") else :     print("The given number ",a," is a composite number.") Explanation :    1. First, we need to input the integer that we need to find is prime or composite. 2.Now, we are creating the empty lis

Python Program To Replace The Elements of List With its Cube

  In this post, we are going to write a python program to replace the elements of a list with its cube. General Idea : To replace the elements of the list with its cube, we are going to use the list transversing method. We are going to create two empty lists. In first, we are going to input the elements from the user. In second, we are going to fill the elements by the cube of the respective element which is stored in the first list. Pre-Requisites : Python Basics For loop List Manipulation Program : n=int(input("Enter the number of elements :")) l=[] cube=[] for i in range(0,n):     x=int(input("Enter the element "))     l.append(x) for i in l:     a=i**3     cube.append(a) print(cube) Explanation : 1.In this line, we are inputting the number of elements of the list using the input function and storing that to identifier n. 2.Now we are creating an empty list, for inputting the elements for which we need to replace the cube. 3.Now we are creating another empty list
