3. checkPalindrome


Task

Given the string, check if it is a palindrome.

Example

  • For inputString = "aabaa", the output should be
    checkPalindrome(inputString) = true;

  • For inputString = "abac", the output should be
    checkPalindrome(inputString) = false;

  • For inputString = "a", the output should be
    checkPalindrome(inputString) = true.

Input/Output

  • [execution time limit]
    4 seconds (py3)

  • [input] string inputString
    A non-empty string consisting of lowercase characters.
    Guaranteed constraints: 1 ≤ inputString.length ≤ 105.

  • [output] boolean
    true if inputString is a palindrome, false otherwise.

My Solution

def checkPalindrome(inputString):
    if inputString[::-1] == inputString:
        return True
    else:
        return False
