Same letter at both ends?

Problem

Write a function that takes a text (with at least one letter) and returns true if its first letter and its last one are the same. Case doesn't count: with "Alpha" you return true and with "sun", false.

If the text has a single letter, that letter is the first and the last one at the same time, so you return true.

Examples

  • "test" → true

  • "sun" → false

  • With a capital

    "Alpha" → true

  • "garden" → false

Besides these, the challenge has hidden tests that are revealed when you submit your solution.
