# A string is a palindrome if it is identical forward and backward.

palindrome = input("Enter a string: ")
reversed_text = ""

for i in range(-1, -(len(palindrome) + 1), -1):
    reversed_text = reversed_text + palindrome[i]
  
 if palindrome == reversed_text:
        print(palindrome, "is a palindrome")
 else:
    print(palindrome, "is not a palindrome")
