Solution Exercise 65: python algorithm that test if the first character is equal to the last

Apr 17, 2023

Exercise 65

Write a Python algorithm which takes a string 's' as input and returns True if the first character is the same as the last character of the string 's', and False otherwise. Example: if s = "render", the function must returns True. If s = "Python" the function returns False.

Solution

def first_last_char_same(s):
    # Get the first character of the string
    first_char = s[0]
    # Get the last character of the string
    last_char = s[-1]
    # Compare the first and last characters
    if first_char == last_char:
        return True
    else:
        return False

#Example of use of this function:
"""
In the first example, the first and last characters of the string "render" are both "r", so the function returns True. In the sec
result = first_last_char_same("render")
print(result)  # True

result = first_last_char_same("Python")
print(result)  # False
ond example, the first and last characters of the string "Python" are different, so the function returns False.
