When you are starting with any new thing, even the simplest problems
look baffling. Once you have achieved a few successes, such error
messages start to make sense.

>> return str(num) == str(num)[::-1]
BTW, this simplistic function is not very practical for serious,
real-life palindromes. It does work for the naïve Finnish palindrome:
saippuakauppias
(= "a soap merchant")
However, it fails to detect:
innostunut sonni
(= "an enthusiastic bull")
let alone:
Sota-apina nakataan raastimeen.
Apelle pane emit.
Saarnaa takanani paatos.

Hand the pistils to father-in-law.
Pathos does preach behind me.")
