Palindrome Checker

Challenge Description:

Create a Python module that checks if given words or numbers are palindromes. The module should check a list of strings and numbers to determine if each one is a palindrome, meaning it reads the same forward and backward. The check should be done for multiple inputs using a for loop.

Expected Behavior:

• The module should iterate over a list of strings and numbers.
• For each input, it should remove non-alphanumeric characters and convert the string to lowercase.
• It should then check if the cleaned string is a palindrome (i.e., if it reads the same forwards and backwards).
• The output should print whether each input is a palindrome or not.

Example:

Input:

strings_to_check = ["Radar", "12321", "Hello", "1.232.1", "12345", "aA", "Test"]

Output:

'Radar' is a palindrome.
'12321' is a palindrome.
'Hello' is not a palindrome.
'1.232.1' is a palindrome.
'12345' is not a palindrome.
'aA' is a palindrome.
'Test' is not a palindrome.

Notes:

• The function should ignore spaces, punctuation, and be case-insensitive.
• Edge cases such as empty strings or strings with special characters should be handled.
• The for loop should handle multiple strings or numbers for palindrome checks.
