Solution: Palindrome check

Here is a possible solution to the task.

for <level hello racecar> -> $word {
    say "$word: { $word eq $word.flip ?? 'yes' !! 'no' }";
}

🦋 You can find the source code in the file palindrome.raku.

Output

level: yes
hello: no
racecar: yes

Comments

.flip reverses the characters of a string. A word is a palindrome exactly when it equals its own reverse, which the ternary turns into yes or no.
