check if it is a palindrome. code example

Example 1: Write a function that tests whether a string is a palindrome

def palindrome_check(string):
    string = list(string)
    tmp = []
    #remove any spaces
    for x in range(0, len(string)):
        if(string[x] != " "):
            tmp.append(string[x].lower())
    
            
    #now reverse the string
    array1 = []
    i = 0
    j = len(tmp)-1

    while(i < len(tmp)):
        array1.append(tmp[j])
        i += 1
        j -= 1

    #check if array1 is equal to the string
    counter = 0
    for x in range(0, len(tmp)):
        if(tmp[x] == array1[x]):
            counter += 1

    #if the counter is equal to the length of the string then the word
    #is the same
    if(counter == len(tmp)):
        return True
    
    return False

Example 2: determine whether integer is a palindrome

public class Solution {
    public bool IsPalindrome(int x) {
        if(x < 0 || (x % 10 == 0 && x != 0)) {
            return false;
        }

        int revertedNumber = 0;
        while(x > revertedNumber) {
            revertedNumber = revertedNumber * 10 + x % 10;
            x /= 10;
        }

        return x == revertedNumber || x == revertedNumber/10;
    }
}
