Palindrome Checker Hack

def palindrome_check(input_string):
    input_string = input_string.replace(" ", "").lower()
    
    return input_string == input_string[::-1]

user_input = input("Enter a string: ")
if palindrome_check(user_input):
    print(f"{user_input} is a palindrome.")
else:
    print(f"{user_input} is not a palindrome.")

tacocat is a palindrome.

Real World App:

## Party Invite Tracker Using Lists and if statements

party =["rayyan", "nathan", "aidan", "daniel"]

# def invite_check(input_string):

user_input = input("What is your name?")
if user_input.lower() in party:
    print(f"{user_input} is free to enter the party!")
else:
    print(f"{user_input} is not on the list you poser")
