Python. Making a function that tests if a word is a palindrome recursively -

-

i'm trying make program tests if word palindrome using recursive function. pretty have working i'm having trouble getting move on next letter if first , last same. 

word = input("enterword") word = word.lower()  def palindrom(word):     if len(word) == 1 or len(word) == 0:         return 0;     if word[0] == word[-1]:         print(word[0], word[-1])         palindrom(word);     else:         return 1;  test = palindrom(word) if test == 0:     print("yes") elif test == 1:     print("no")

so right tests if first , last letter same , if so, should run function again. need have check word[1] , word[-2] i'm having trouble. tried splitting word , popping letters kept looking @ list length of 1. if there way get length of whole split list, work well.

you're missing return statement when call method recursively , correct slice:

def palindrom(word):     if len(word) == 1 or len(word) == 0:         return 0     if word[0] == word[-1]:         print(word[0], word[-1])         return palindrom(word[1:-1])     else:         return 1
