String Palindrome Detection | Dataford Interview Questions

Write a method that takes a string argument and detects whether or not the string qualifies as a palindrome.

Implement is_palindrome(s), returning True when s reads the same forward and backward, and False otherwise. Treat characters as case-sensitive and do not remove spaces or punctuation.

Constraints

0 <= len(s) <= 100000
s contains standard ASCII characters
Comparisons are case-sensitive
Spaces and punctuation are not ignored

Function Signature
