# Palindrome Check
2+
3+
A [Palindrome](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palindrome) is a string that reads the same forwards and backwards.
4+
This means that the second half of the string is the reverse of the
5+
first half.
6+
7+
## Examples
8+
9+
The following are palindromes (thus would return `TRUE`):
10+
11+
```
12+
- "a"
13+
- "pop" -> p + o + p
14+
- "deed" -> de + ed
15+
- "kayak" -> ka + y + ak
16+
- "racecar" -> rac + e + car
17+
```
18+
19+
The following are NOT palindromes (thus would return `FALSE`):
20+
21+
```
22+
- "rad"
23+
- "dodo"
24+
- "polo"
25+
```
