highest palindrome with 3 digit numbers in python

Question

In problem 4 from http://projecteuler.net/ it says:

A palindromic number reads the same both ways. The largest palindrome made from the product of two 2-d

Answer 1

Here is my Python code:

max_pal = 0
for i in range(100,999):
    for j in range(100,999):
      mult = i * j 
      if str(mult) == str(mult)[::-1]: #Check if the number is palindrome
          if mult > max_pal: 
              max_pal = mult
print (max_pal)
