Read the original article Hit count: 455

The goal: Any language. The smallest function which will return whether a string is a palindrome. Here is mine in Python:

R=lambda s:all(a==b for a,b in zip(s,reversed(s)))

50 characters.

The accepted answer will be the current smallest one - this will change as smaller ones are found. Please specify the language your code is in.
