#ruby word = gets.chomp.downcase #Takes user input and converts it to lowercase puts word puts word[0] == word[-1] # First Char | Last Char

JavaScript if(s.charAt(0)==s.slice(-1))

You check which letter is the first. Then you compare it to the last one. For example in Java: String word = "wow"; if(word.charAt(0) == word.charAt(word.length() - 1))return true; else return false;
