Question
Restrictions: do not use imports, except for the ones given (if any). You may not use any lists or list methods, please do not use try-except statements. I included my is_palindrome function
36
edef is palindrome_string(string: str) -> bool:
37
38
Given a string <string>, return whether this string is a palindrome string.
39
40
For the purposes of this function, a palindrome string is any string that
forms a palindrome if you piece together the first letter of every word in
the string. We define a word here to be ANY CONTINUOUS SEGMENT OF
41
42
43
ALPHABETICAL CHARACTERS. That means that "abc;def", has twO words: "abc"
44
and "def". The separating character does not have to be whitespace, and
45
there could be more than one separating character between two words.
46
47
Since you will be using your is_palindrome function from last week, the
48
definition of a palindrome will remain the same as the definition from
49
last week (ignore capitalization and whitespace).
50
51
A simple example: given the string "test string test", there are three
52
words, "test", "string", and "test". The first letters of each word come
53
together to form the string "tst". And since "tst" is a palindrome, this
54
function should return True for the input "test string test".
55
56
Precondition: <string> will contain at least one word.
57
58
Restrictions: you must use your "is_palindrome" function from lab 3 as a
helper for this function, in addition to the lab restrictions
defined at the start of this file. You are allowed and are
encouraged to fix any issues with your previous submission
for this function.

Edef is palindrome (string: str) -> bool:
Your "is_palindrome" implementation from last week (Lab 3), which you may
use as is or with modifications if you didn't get it right last time.
low = string.Lower().replace (" ", "")
%3D
return low == low[::-1]
