Problem Statement

You are given a string $$$s$$$ consisting of lowercase English letters. A string is called "good" if its first character is the same as its last character. Given the string $$$s$$$, determine whether it is good. Print YES if it is good, and NO otherwise.

--- ### Hint / Solution Idea To solve this problem, you don't need any complex data structures. You just need to: 1. Read the string into a standard variable. 2. Access the first character of the string (index 0). 3. Access the last character of the string (index s.length() - 1 or s.back()). 4. Compare them and print the corresponding answer.

I would appreciate any feedback, suggestions, or criticism since this is my first experience creating problems! Good luck and happy coding!
