JavaScript Algorithms and Data Structures Projects: Palindrome Checker/Regex problem?

[laboon2077]

Tell us what’s happening:
Hi, i managed to pass all the tests except for this one: palindrome("1 eye for of 1 eye.") should return false.
i don’t know what is wrong, any help would be appreciated.

Your code so far

function palindrome(str) {
let revStr = str.split("").reverse().join("");
let reverseStr = revStr.replace(/[\W\d_\s]/g, '').toLowerCase();
console.log(reverseStr);
let originalStr = str.replace(/[\W\d_\s]/g, '').toLowerCase();
console.log(originalStr);
if (originalStr === reverseStr) {
  return true;
}else {
  return false;
}
}



let result = palindrome("1 eye for of 1 eye.");
console.log(result);

you need to check alphanumerical characters, it is you are only checking letters

[laboon2077]

but the non-alphanumeric characters aren’t covered with [\W]?

[ilenia]

\W equals to [^a-zA-Z0-9_] (so everythint but letters numbers and underscore)

you need to look at the whole pattern, you are also removing numbers with \d
