JavaScript Algorithms and Data Structures Projects - Palindrome Checker

#1

I have a feeling im missing something in my regex, but that im pretty close can anyone confirm? :]
Your code so far

function palindrome(str) {
  let final = []
  let string = str.toLowerCase()
  let filter = string.split(/\A+\s+/g)
  for(let i = filter.length - 1; i>= 0; i--){
    final.push(filter[i])
    if(filter.length !== final.length){
      return false
    } else {
      return true
    }
  }
  return true;
}

palindrome("eye");

hi there, I’m not sure I understand your algorithm.
What is the pattern supposed to match?

#3

anything that isnt an alphanumeric number including spaces, and underscores. I know i have to add the underscore symbol as well since the \A doesnt include _

#4

I guess I’m confused because your pattern starts with \A+ which matches the character A but nothing else.
Maybe you wanted to use \W actually?
Here’s a regex cheat sheet that should help

Note that \W is the opposite of \w. The \W shortcut means a non-alphanumeric character (e.g. NOT A-Z, a-z, 1-9 or underscore).

EDIT: Sorry, misread your post. As you were.
