Welcome to Codédex's first ever Monthly Twitter Challenge! This one is created by our SWE Intern, @asiqurrahman. 🙌

Palindrome:

A word, sentence, or number that reads the same forward or backward (e.g., racecar, civic, and 121).

Challenge:

Create a Python function that:

1. Takes in a string as a parameter.
2. Checks if it's a palindrome.
3. Returns True if it is or False if it's not.

Requirements:

• 📦 Don’t use any packages.
• 💬 Make sure to comment the code.

Post your program screenshot in the Twitter thread.

And we will pick a random winner by noon this Friday. The prize is a free Codédex tee and bragging rights! 🏆

Update:

We have a winner to the Codédex Monthly Challenge: Palindrome! 🥁...
