Question

This is a question about syntax more than anything. I am pretty sure that I am almost right, but not quite. I’m trying to put a for loop inside of the expression for an if statement.

A mock-up of what I think it should be for a simple palindrome tester:

toTest = "asdffdsa"
if toTest[i]==toTest[-i] for i in range(len(toTest)/2):
    print("It's a palendrome!")

Thanks in advance for your help!

Answer 1

I guess you mean

if all(toTest[i] == toTest[-i] for i in range(len(toTest)/2)):
    print("It's a palindrome!")

Note that it would be much easier to do

if toTest == toTest[::-1]:
    print("It's a palindrome!")
