A palindrome is a phrase that, if reversed, would read the exact same. Write code that checks if p_phrase is a palindrome by reversing it and then checking if the reversed version is equal to the original. Assign the reversed version of p_phrase to the variable r_phrase so that we can check your work.

reversedPalindrome.py

p_phrase = "was it a car or a cat I saw"
r_phrase = p_phrase[::-1]

Got it. Thanks.

I have also attached an image with this u can see some examples of slicing [image: Screenshot (16)] <https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/41851148/81927715-9fcef500-95d3-11ea-9ec4-40e1a1416113.png> — You are receiving this because you commented.

Why can't we use the reverse() method?

Why can't we use the reverse() method?

reverse() function can only be used in case of lists. It will show an error if we use this for string.

Thank you

p_phrase = "was it a car or a cat I saw"
phrase = []
for letter in p_phrase:
phrase.append(letter)
phrase.reverse()
r_phrase= ''
r_phrase = "".join(phrase)
print(r_phrase)
