```
def is_palindrome(input_string):
# We'll create two strings, to compare them
   if input_string[0:] == input_string[-1:]:
      return True
   else:
      return False

```

**expected output is below:**

`print(is_palindrome("Never Odd or Even")) # Should be True
print(is_palindrome("abc")) # Should be False
print(is_palindrome("kayak")) # Should be True`

I am currently getting False for all cases. I know my splicing might be off on the -1. I already tried swapping the colon around to no avail.
