On-the-Spot Palindrome Coding | Dataford Interview Questions

Solve a coding problem on the spot, such as implementing a function to check if a string is a palindrome.

Implement is_palindrome(s) to return True when the input string reads the same from left to right and right to left, and False otherwise. Treat characters as case-sensitive and include spaces and punctuation in the comparison.

Input: A string s. Output: A Boolean value.

Examples: "level" returns True; "hello" returns False.

Constraints: 0 <= len(s) <= 10^5; s may contain letters, digits, spaces, and punctuation.
