What are Palindromes in Python? - HarshaliPatel - Dec-08-2018 Can a Palindrome be implemented in Python? RE: What are Palindromes in Python? - buran - Dec-08-2018 What exactly is your question/goal. Read what Palindrome is. RE: What are Palindromes in Python? - jeanMichelBain - Dec-08-2018 I don't know what is 'implement' is that case. You can easily get the palindromes in the first 1000 numbers: for p in range(1000): pa = list(str(p)) pa.reverse() pn = int(''.join(pa)) if pn == p: print(p,pn) RE: What are Palindromes in Python? - jeanMichelBain - Dec-09-2018 Hi again, I realize my answer was silly. Of course, palindromes can be implemented as a python class. For instance, a very basic sample : '''The palindrome module is a very basic implementation of palindromes. Provided as the palindrome.py file''' class Palindrome(): '''The Palindrome class provides three public members functions: Palindrome(n) : the instanciation member, where n is an integer isPalindrome() : this function returns True is the class was instantiated with a palindrome integer __str__() : provides a printable form of the palindrome ''' def __init__(self,candidate): self.value = candidate def isPalindrome(self): pa = list(str(self.value)) pa.reverse() pn = int(''.join(pa)) if pn == self.value: return True return False def __str__(self): if self.isPalindrome: return '%s is a palindrome' % self.value else: return '%s is not a palindrome' % self.valueThis can be used by the following: import palindrome for i in (10,11,12): obj = palindrome.Palindrome(i) if obj.isPalindrome(): print(obj)The result is : $ python3 pldrm.py 11 is a palindrome And the docstring is available by: $python3 Python 3.5.3 (default, Jan 19 2017, 14:11:04) [GCC 6.3.0 20170118] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import palindrome >>> help(palindrome) >>> help(palindrome.Palindrome) You can invent more complex functions... probably not very useful, but so fun RE: What are Palindromes in Python? - snippsat - Dec-09-2018 (Dec-09-2018, 04:16 PM)jeanMichelBain Wrote: Hi again,I don't think he mean that "implemented" most be a class. The answer to his question yes,then he should try something himself. Your answer with reverse() is okay.When first have started can also bring in [::-1] ,that's common to use with palindrome.Eg: def is_palindrome(n): n = str(n) return n == n[::-1]Test: >>> lst = [10, 11, 12, 99, 24, 44] >>> filter(is_palindrome, lst) [11, 99, 44]Also a newer string formatting than old %s .return f'{self.value} is a palindrome' RE: What are Palindromes in Python? - himanibansal - Dec-11-2018 A palindrome is a phrase, a word, or a sequence that reads the same forward and backward. One such example will be pip! An example of such a phrase will be ‘nurses run’. >>> def isPalindrome(string): left,right=0,len(string)-1 while right>=left: if not string[left]==string[right]: return False left+=1;right-=1 return True >>> isPalindrome('redrum murder') True >>> isPalindrome('CC.') False Well, there are other ways to do this too. Let’s try using an iterator. >>> def isPalindrome(string): left,right=iter(string),iter(string[::-1]) i=0 while i<len(string)/2: if next(left)!=next(right): return False i+=1 return True >>> isPalindrome('redrum murder') True >>> isPalindrome('CC.') False >>> isPalindrome('CCC.') False |
