Stuck at Palindrome Checker

1

Help me with this.


function palindrome(str) {
  // Good luck!
  str.toLowerCase()
  str = str.replace(/[\W_]/g,'');
  var str2 = ""

  for (let i = str.length; i > 0; i--) {
    str2 = str2 + str.slice(i - 1, i)
  }

  if (str2 == str.toLowerCase()) {
  return true;
  } else {
    return false;
  }
}


palindrome("OKy")
palindrome("eye");

These test cases are not working;

palindrome(“A man, a plan, a canal. Panama”) should return true.
palindrome(“My age is 0, 0 si ega ym.”) should return true

get rid of your for loop and use Array.methods() , refactor your regex,

and just fyi you if (str2 == str.toLowerCase()) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
} can just be written return str2 === str.toLowerCase() because a comparison is a boolean (it s always equal to true or false)
