Find the error in the code As it always shows Not a palindrom

Question

#Palindrom check
a=str(input("Please enter a word: "))
b=list(a)
l=len(a)
r= " "
for x in range(l-1,-1,-1):
r+=b[x]
c=str(r)
if c==a :
print("It's a palindrom.")
else:
print("It's not a palindrom.")

Answer 1

I guess you know the easier test 🙂
if a == a[::-1]:

Answer 2

Well the input() returns a string so the str() in line 1 is not needed.
You can directly do r+=a[x] so creating b is not necessary.
r is already a string so you don't need c=str(r).
Finally, initialize r as an empty string, not one with a space, i.e. r="", not r=" "

Answer 3

Igor Kostrikin He is right on that aspect as the endpoint is excluded from the range.

Answer 4

May be range(l-1,0,-1) ?
