Problem Statement

Create a `StringUtils` class with a static method `is_palindrome(s)` that returns True if the string is a palindrome, False otherwise. Print ‘Is Palindrome: [True/False]’.

Input Format

A single word (string).

Output Format

Print the boolean evaluation.

Constraints

Case-sensitive comparison is fine.

Sample Input

racecar

Sample Output

Is Palindrome: True

Explanation

Static methods are perfect for grouping related utility functions that don't need access to instance state.

Starter Code

class StringUtils:
    # Define static method is_palindrome
    pass

if __name__ == '__main__':
    s = input().strip()
    # Check and print
    pass
