nodejs to find palindrom 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

function palindrome(str) {
 var re = /[^A-Za-z0-9]/g;
 str = str.toLowerCase().replace(re, '');
 var len = str.length;
 for (var i = 0; i < len/2; i++) {
   if (str[i] !== str[len - 1 - i]) {
       return false;
   }
 }
 return true;
