        self.items = []

    def is_empty(self):
        return self.items == []

    def add_front(self, item):

    def add_rear(self, item):

def pal_checker(a_string):
    char_deque = Deque()

    for ch in a_string:
        char_deque.add_rear(ch)
    still_equal = True

    while char_deque.size() > 1 and still_equal:
        first = char_deque.remove_front()
        last = char_deque.remove_rear()
        if first != last:
            still_equal = False
    return still_equal
    
if __name__ == "__main__":
    print(pal_checker("asdlfkajldkfa"))
    print(pal_checker("radar"))

　　输出：

>>> 
False
True
