Question

Python Question: A palindrome is a string that reads identical forwards and backwards. Examples include abba, abcba, a1b1b1a, houstonnotsuoh etc.

Your task is to write a function ispalindrome(string) that reads an input string and returns True if both of the following are true:

1. The string is a palindrome

2. The string has at least one letter (uppercase or lowercase)

For example: ispalindrome('racecar') should return True

PS: ispalindrome('123321') should return False

ispalindrome('racecar') should return True

Answer 1

def ispalindrome(string):
    count = 0
    for i in range(len(string)):
        if string[i] != string[len(string) - i - 1]:
            return False
        if string[i].isalpha():
            count += 1
    return count > 0


# Testing the function here. ignore/remove the code below if not required
print(ispalindrome('racecar'))
print(ispalindrome('123321'))

True False Process finished with exit code @
