How to Check if a Number is a Palindrome in Python

Submitted by razormist on Saturday, June 28, 2025 - 21:29.

In this tutorial, we will learn how to program "How to Check if a Number is a Palindrome in Python." The objective is to determine whether a given number reads the same forward and backward, making it a palindrome. This tutorial will guide you step by step through the process of checking for palindrome numbers. By the end of this tutorial, you will have a clear understanding of how to efficiently implement this check in Python, helping you strengthen your problem-solving and coding skills.

This topic is straightforward to understand. Just follow the instructions provided, and you will be able to complete it with ease. The program demonstrated will show you the correct and efficient way to check whether a number is a palindrome. So, let’s dive into the coding process!

Getting Started:

First you will have to download & install the Python IDLE's, here's the link for the Integrated Development And Learning Environment for Python https://www.python.org/downloads/.

Creating Main Function

This is the main function of the application. The following code will display a simple GUI in terminal console that will display program. To do this, simply copy and paste these blocks of code into the IDLE text editor.

while True:
    print("\n============== Check if a Number is a Palindrome ==============\n")
 
 
    number=int(input("Enter number: "))
    temp=number
    rev=0
    while(number>0):
        dig=number%10
        rev=rev*10+dig
        number=number//10
    if(temp==rev):
        print("The number is a palindrome!")
    else:
        print("The number isn't a palindrome!")
 
        
 
    opt = input("\nDo you want to try again?(yes/no): ")
           
    if opt.lower() == 'yes':
        ret=False
    elif opt.lower() == 'no':
        ret=True
        print("Exiting program....")
    else:
        print("Please enter yes/no:")
        break
 
    if ret == False:
        continue

This Python program checks whether a given number is a palindrome. It reverses the digits of the input number and compares the reversed number to the original. If both are the same, it prints that the number is a palindrome; otherwise, it states that it is not. The program repeats the process until the user chooses to exit.

Output:

There you have it we successfully created How to Check if a Number is a Palindrome in Python. I hope that this simple tutorial help you to what you are looking for. For more updates and tutorials just kindly visit this site. Enjoy Coding!
