Need to verify half of a String in a Loop

I'm doing a palindrome exercise and want to verify half of the string in a loop. I tried to do for ex: for(index in text.indices / 2) and didn't work

fun palindrome(text:String): Boolean {

   var inverse : Int = text.length - 1

   for (index in text.indices) {
       if (!text[index].equals(text[inverse])) {
           return false
       }
       inverse--
   }
   return true
}

Solution

The for loop syntax in Kotlin is similar to Java's "enhanced for" loop:

for (<variable> in <expression>) {
    <body>
}

where <expression> can be "anything that provides an iterator" (from the documentation)

The Kotlin equivalent of the code you added in your comment is: for (i in 0 until text.length()/2). Note that until is not a keyword but rather an infix function and creates the range 0 .. text.length()-1.
