Hello budding coders! Here's a chance to practice your debugging skills. We have a Python program meant to check if a given word is a palindrome, but it's not working correctly. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to debug and fix the code!
Task:
The current program is intended to check if a word entered by the user is a palindrome (reads the same backward as forward). However, there are bugs in the code preventing it from functioning correctly. Your job is to identify and fix these issues.
Guidelines:
Use Python's string manipulation functions to reverse the input word.
Ensure the program handles both uppercase and lowercase letters (hint: consider converting the word to a consistent case).
Test your fixed program with various words to guarantee its accuracy.
How to Contribute:
Fork this repository.
Create a new branch: git checkout -b palindrome-debug-challenge
Locate the bugs in the existing palindrome_checker.py file and fix them.
Test your fixed code thoroughly to confirm it's working correctly.
Commit your changes: git commit -m "Fix palindrome checker"
Push to your branch: git push origin palindrome-debug-challenge
