Thanks, I realize that it was spelled wrong. Now, with the correct spelling the result is a 'False'. I have expected it gives reversed string. Is the function behaves correct or not? Thanks, >>> a='1234' >>> def palindrome(num): return str(num) == str(num)[::-1] >>> palindrome(a) False >>> palindrome("fread") False -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
