Is Palindrome

Explore methods to determine if a string is a palindrome in Python. Learn a straightforward solution using extra space and a preferred approach using constant space and linear time. Understand handling alphanumeric characters and case insensitivity to validate palindromes effectively.

In this lesson, we will be considering how to test whether a string is a palindrome in Python. At first, we’ll come up with a concise solution that takes extra space, but we’ll eventually code a solution that takes a linear amount of time and a constant amount of space.

A palindrome is a word, number, phrase, or any other sequence of characters that reads the same forward as it does backward.

Here are some examples of a palindrome:
