Else Statement in Basic Algorithm Scripting Palindrome Unit isn't working

JavaScript

Hi, can someone tell me why my else statement isn’t working here?

Your code so far

function palindrome(str) {
  if (str.toLowerCase(/\W/g) === str.toLowerCase(/\W/g).reverse()); {
  return true;
  }  
  else 
  {
    return false;
    
  }
}



palindrome("eye");

I am not sure if that’s the correct param for toLowerCase()

also reverse() is an Array function, not a String function…
you are using reverse() on a String.
