1. Palindrome - easy

A palindrome is a word that reads the same backward or forward.

Write a function that checks if a given word is a palindrome. Character case should be ignored.

For example, is_palindrome("Deleveled") should return True as character case should be ignored, resulting in "deleveled", which is a palindrome since it reads the same backward and forward.

def is_palindrome(word):
    word = word.lower()
    backwards = word[::-1]
    return word==backwards

print(is_palindrome('Deleveled'))
# This should print True
