# Define a procedure is_palindrome, that takes as input a string, and returns a
# Boolean indicating if the input string is a palindrome.
# Base Case: '' => True
# Recursive Case: if first and last characters don't match => False
# if they do match, is the middle a palindrome?
def is_palindrome(s):
if s == '':

else:

print is_palindrome('')
#>>> True
print is_palindrome('abab')
#>>> False
print is_palindrome('abba')
#>>> True
