javascript function to check palindrome code example

Example 1: palindrome in javascript

function palindrome(str) {

    var len = str.length;
    var mid = Math.floor(len/2);

    for ( var i = 0; i < mid; i++ ) {
        if (str[i] !== str[len - 1 - i]) {
            return false;
        }
    }

    return true;
}

Example 2: javascript palindrome check

const isPalindrome = str => str === str.split('').reverse().join('');

// Examples
isPalindrome('abc');        // false
isPalindrom('abcba');       // true

Example 3: javascript palindrome check

function palindrome(str) {
 // Step 1. The first part is the same as earlier
 var re = /[^A-Za-z0-9]/g; // or var re = /[\W_]/g;
 str = str.toLowerCase().replace(re, '');

 // Step 2. Create the FOR loop
 var len = str.length; // var len = "A man, a plan, a canal. Panama".length = 30
 
 for (var i = 0; i < len/2; i++) {
   if (str[i] !== str[len - 1 - i]) { // As long as the characters from each part match, the FOR loop will go on
       return false; // When the characters don't match anymore, false is returned and we exit the FOR loop
   }
   /* Here len/2 = 15
      For each iteration: i = ?    i < len/2    i++    if(str[i] !== str[len - 1 - i])?

    End of the FOR Loop*/
 }
 return true; // Both parts are strictly equal, it returns true => The string is a palindrome
}

palindrome("A man, a plan, a canal. Panama");

Example 4: js palindrome number

isPalindrome = function(x) {
    if (x < 0) {
        return false;
    }
    
    return x === reversedInteger(x, 0);
};

reversedInteger = function(x, reversed) {
    if(x<=0) return reversed;
        reversed = (reversed * 10) + (x % 10);
        x = Math.floor(x / 10);
    
    return reversedInteger(x, reversed);
};
