Tell us what’s happening:

My function works for most of the words like “eye” but whenever there’s a space or special character it fails can someone help me?

Your code so far

function palindrome(str) {
  var newString="";
  str=str.toLowerCase();
  for(var i=str.length-1;i>=0;--i)
    {
      newString=newString+str[i];
    }
  if(str.equals(newString))
  return true;
  
  return false;
}



palindrome("eye");
