How can i fix this

JavaScript
1 
const PalChecker = () => {
  if(!text.value){
    alert("Please input a value");}
   
    if (text.value === "A"){
      result.innerText = "A is a palindrome";}
     
      if (text.value.includes("eye")){
        result.innerText = "eye is a palindrome";}
      
        if(text.value.includes("_eye")){
          result.innerText = "_eye is a palindrome";
        }
        if(text.value.includes("race car")){
          result.innerText = "race car is a palindrome";
        }

    }

    1. When you click on the #check-btn element without entering a value into the #text-input element, an alert should appear with the text "Please input a value".

  • Passed:5. When the #text-input element only contains the letter A and the #check-btn element is clicked, the #result element should contain the text "A is a palindrome".

i passed these questions but

    1. When the #text-input element contains the text eye and the #check-btn element is clicked, the #result element should contain the text "eye is a palindrome".

  • Failed:7. When the #text-input element contains the text _eye and the #check-btn element is clicked, the #result element should contain the text "_eye is a palindrome".

  • Failed:8. When the #text-input element contains the text race car and the #check-btn element is clicked, the #result element should contain the text "race car is a palindrome".

@JeremyLT what do you think is wrong or i should change

6

@JeremyLT its as if i can only have one result.innerText outcome

7

All of this is fundamentally the wrong way to approach the problem

8

@JeremyLT how can i better approach it so my code is right and answers the question?

9

Your code should work for any string the user types.

10

@JeremyLT sorry im one month in and have no idea how to approach this project do you recommend what my first step should be

11

You need to figure out a process you’d use to find out if a string is a palindrome.

How would you do this on pencil and paper?

12

@JeremyLT

Id put it through a function that checks if the string matches front to back and back to front then would label it as a palindrome and if not it wouldn’t be.

13

You would use a function on pencil and paper? I don’t know what a function is on pencil and paper.

Can you be more specific about how you would do your plan?

14

@JeremyLT i would check on pencil and paper to see if they are spelled backwards and forwards the same then label it if its a palindrome or not?

15

How do you know they are spelled the same forwards and backwards? Pretend I’m a kid who just learned my letters (computers are sorta like children who need very specific instructions)

16

@JeremyLT I would write out how it spells forwards and Backwards to check?

17

That seems like a starting point. Can you write some code that writes out the string backwards?

@JeremyLT is it something like const variable = text.value.reverse()

19

I dunno. Maybe? You can try it and see if it does what you want.
