Python program to check whether a number is Palindrome or not

Hello folks, welcome back to programminginpython.com.  Here in this post, I will share a simple Python program that checks whether a number is a palindrome or not. Let’s code a simple program to check palindrome in Python.
Generally, a number is said to be a palindrome number if its reverse is the same as the original number.

For Example, 121 is a palindrome as its reverse is also 121 whereas, 231 is not a palindrome as its reverse is 132.

Task :

To check whether a number is a palindrome or not

Approach :

• Read an input number using input() or raw_input().
• Check whether the value entered is an integer or not.
• We convert that integer number to a string str(num).
• Now we use advanced slice operation [start:end:step] leaving the start and end empty and giving step a value of -1, this slice operation reverses the string.
• Now check whether the reverse is equal to num,
• If reverse is equal to num, the number is a palindrome
• When reverse is not equal to num, it is not a palindrome

Program :

num = input('Enter any number : ')
try:
    val = int(num)
    if num == str(num)[::-1]:
        print('The given number is PALINDROME')
    else:
        print('The given number is NOT a palindrome')
except ValueError:
    print("That's not a valid number, Try Again !")
