Walkthrough

Adds a Go CLI that reads a string and reports whether it is a palindrome. The exported helper performs Unicode-aware, case-insensitive normalization before comparing characters from both ends.

Changes

Palindrome solution

Layer / File(s)	Summary
CLI and palindrome logic challenge-17/submissions/JoQCorreia/solution-template.go	The CLI reads a line from stdin and prints the palindrome result. IsPalindrome lowercases input, removes non-letter and non-number runes, treats empty normalized input as a palindrome, and compares mirrored runes.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Poem

I’m a bunny with a string to inspect,
Cleaned and flipped, it earns my respect.
Letters hop in, symbols hop out,
Matching ends leave no doubt.
“Palindrome!” I cheer with delight—
A perfect loop from left to right!

Remove the redundant continue statement.

A continue statement at the very end of a for loop body has no effect and can be safely removed to improve readability.
