Palindrome Check via Slicing

Easy ⏱ 8 min 84% acceptance ★★★★★ 4.8

Write is_palindrome(s) that returns True if s reads the same forwards and backwards, comparing it directly against its reversed slice. Treat the comparison as case-sensitive and do not strip any characters.

Examples

Example 1

Input

s = 'level'

Output

True

Explanation

'level' reversed is still 'level'.

Example 2

Input

s = 'Level'

Output

False

Explanation

Case-sensitive: 'Level' reversed is 'leveL', which differs.

Constraints

0 <= len(s) <= 10^4
Comparison is case-sensitive.
