Question $1$

Fill in the blanks to complete the is$\_$palindrome function. This function checks if a given string is a palindrome. A palindrome is a string that contains the same letters in the same order, whether the word is read from left to right or right to left. Examples of palindromes are words like kayak and radar, and phrases like "Never Odd or Even". The function should ignore blank spaces and capitalization when checking if the given string is a palindrome. Complete this function to return True if the passed string is a palindrome, False if not.
