Best Way to check string is palindrome with more criteria like case and special characters     function checkPalindrom str        var str   str replace    a-zA-Z0-9   gi      toLowerCase        return str    str split     reverse   join          You can test it with following words and strings and gives you more specific result  1  bob 2  Doc  note  I dissent  A fast never prevents a fatness  I diet on cod  For strings it ignores special characters and convert string to lower case

The most important thing to do when solving a Technical Test is Don t use shortcut methods -- they want to see how you think algorithmically  Not your use of methods   Here is one that I came up with  45 minutes after I blew the test   There are a couple optimizations to make though  When writing any algorithm  its best to assume false and alter the logic if its looking to be true   isPalindrome     Basically  to make this run in O N   linear  complexity you want to have 2 iterators whose vectors point towards each other  Meaning  one iterator that starts at the beginning and one that starts at the end  each traveling inward  You could have the iterators traverse the whole array and use a condition to break return once they meet in the middle  but it may save some work to only give each iterator a half-length by default   for loops seem to force the use of more checks  so I used while loops - which I m less comfortable with   Here s the code          TODO  If func counts out  let it return 0       Assume  isPalindrome  invert logic      function isPalindrome S       var s   S         len   s length         mid   len 2          i   0  j   len-1       while i lt mid           var l   s charAt i           while j gt  mid               var r   s charAt j               if l     r                   console log   while     i  l         j  r                   --j                  break                            console log   while     i  l         j  r               return 0                      i            return 1     var nooe   solution  neveroddoreven        even char length var kayak   solution  kayak        odd char length var kayaks   solution  kayaks     console log   isPalindrome   nooe  kayak  kayaks     Notice that if the loops count out  it returns true  All the logic should be inverted so that it by default returns false  I also used one short cut method String prototype charAt n   but I felt OK with this as every language natively supports this method

Taking a stab at this  Kind of hard to measure performance  though   function palin word        var i   0          len   word length - 1          max   word length   2   0       while  i  lt  max            if  word charCodeAt i      word charCodeAt len - i                 return false                    i    1            return true      My thinking is to use charCodeAt   instead charAt   with the hope that allocating a Number instead of a String will have better perf because Strings are variable length and might be more complex to allocate  Also  only iterating halfway through  as noted by sai  because that s all that s required  Also  if the length is odd  ex   aba    the middle character is always ok

The code is concise quick fast and understandable    TL DR  Explanation     Here isPalindrome function accepts a str parameter which is typeof string     If the length of the str param is less than or equal to one it simply returns  false    If the above case is false then it moves on to the second if statement and checks that if the character at 0 position of the string is same as character at the last place  It does an inequality test between the both    str charAt 0      gives us the value of character in string at position 0 str slice -1      gives us the value of last character in the string     If the inequality result is true then it goes ahead and returns false     If result from the previous statement is false then it recursively calls the isPalindrome str  function over and over again until the final result      x000D   x000D   function isPalindrome str   x000D    x000D   if  str length  lt   1  return true  x000D   if  str charAt 0     str slice -1   return false  x000D   return isPalindrome str substring 1 str length-1    x000D      x000D   x000D   x000D  document getElementById  submit   addEventListener  click  function    x000D   var str   prompt  whats the string     x000D   alert isPalindrome str   x000D      x000D   x000D  document getElementById  ispdrm   onsubmit   function   alert isPalindrome document getElementById  inputTxt   value    x000D    x000D   lt  DOCTYPE html gt  x000D   lt html gt  x000D   lt body gt  x000D   lt form id  ispdrm  gt  lt input type  text  id  inputTxt  gt  lt  form gt  x000D   x000D   lt button id  submit  gt Click me lt  button gt  x000D   lt  body gt  x000D   lt  html gt  x000D   x000D   x000D
