Python Program to Check Whether a Number is Palindrome or Not

In this python tutorial, you will learn how to Check Whether a Number is Palindrome or Not using the if and else statements along with certain operators of the python programming language.

How to Check Whether a Number is Palindrome or Not?

Let’s take a look at the source code , here the values are given as input by the user in the code, the while loop along with certain operators carry out the function.

CASE 1:

CASE 2:

# Python Program to Check Whether a Number is Palindrome or Not

num = input("Enter a number:")
if num == num[::-1]:
    print("\nYes, its a palindrome")
else:
    print("\nNo, its not a palindrome")

CASE 1:

INPUT:

1221

OUTPUT:

Enter a number:
Yes, its a palindrome

CASE  2:

INPUT:

427

OUTPUT:

Enter a number:
No, its not a palindrome

1. Here we give the user the option to enter the values and the input values are scanned using the input function and are stored in the variable num  with the statements/strings ("Enter a number:").
2. In the STDIN section of the code editor the input values are entered.
3. We declare an if statement  followed by a : with the condition num == num[::-1] where if the condition is satisfied, the print function will display the statement ("\nYes, its a palindrome").
4. If the condition is not satisfied, it will move on to the else statement where the print function will display the statement ("\nNo, its not a palindrome").
5. In the above code, the function num[::-1] corresponds to start:stop:step , when we use [::-1] it starts from the end towards the first taking each element, so it reverses the input value and will display reversed value, with the == we check if the condition is true and the respective print statements are displayed.

NOTE:

• The if and else statements evaluates whether an expression is true or false. If a condition is true, the “if” statement is executed otherwise, the “else” statement is executed.
•  The Comparison operator == determines if the values of two objects are equal.
• The colon : at the end of the if and else statement tells Python that the next line of code should only be run if the condition is true.
• The statement for the input function are enclosed in single quotes and parenthesis.
• The \n in the code indicates a new line or the end of a statement line or a string.
• The print statement/string to be displayed in enclosed in double quotes.
• The input() function allows a user to insert a value into a program, it returns a integer value.
• The statement for the input function are enclosed in single quotes and parenthesis.
