Chain methods in Python like JavaScript?-CodePudding

Hello I am mainly a JavaScript developer learning some Python and I was doing the isPalindrome algorithm

I wrote this in JS

function isPalindrome(string) {
 const reverseStr = string.split('').reverse().join('');
  return string === reverseStr;
}

console.log(isPalindrome('abcdcba'))

But I had a hard time replicating this logic in python

Here is what i have so far

def isPalindrome(string):
 reverseStr = list(string)
 reverseStr.reverse()
 print(reverseStr)
 # return string == reverseStr

print(isPalindrome('abcdcba'))

How can I chain methods in Python like JavaScript? Thanks

After reverse the list of chars you need to rejoin using join method of strings in Python, so

def isPalindrome(string):
    reverseStr = list(string)
    reverseStr.reverse()
    return string == ''.join(reverseStr)

It works, but the easier way to check for palindromes as highlighted by porrrwal is string == string[::-1]

This is very simple to do in python. Try this:

string == string[::-1]

So for your function you can just use:

def isPalindrome(string):
    return string == string[::-1]
