Palindrome checker quiz question

// running tests

palindrome(“1 eye for of 1 eye.”)
should return
false

I keep getting this message and the test fails, but according to the requirements of the quiz, and the definition of a palindrome, the string “1 eye for of 1 eye” is a palindrome (once all non-alpha characters are stripped away).

  **Your code so far**


function palindrome(str) {
//remove spaces
var stripped = str.replace(/[\d\W_]/g, '');
var str1 = stripped.toLowerCase().split(" ");

var str_concat = "";
for(let i = 0; i < str1.length; i++){
  str_concat+= str1[i];
}

var arr = str_concat.split("");
var revArr = str_concat.split("");
revArr.reverse();
var f = 0;

if (arr.length == revArr.length)
{
  for(let i = 0; i < arr.length; i++){
    if( arr[i] != revArr[i]){
      f +=1;
    }
  }
}
if(f > 0){
  return false;
}
else{
  return true;
}
}

palindrome("eye");

The beginning of the string starts with “1” and ends with “e” so I don’t see how this could be a palindrome.

" Note: You’ll need to remove all non-alphanumeric characters"

“1” is an alpha-numeric character so you don’t want to remove it.
