* Palindrome *

* Using the JavaScript language, have the function Palindrome(str) take the str *

* parameter being passed and return the string true if the parameter is a palindrome, *

* (the string is the same forward as it is backward) otherwise return the string *

* false. For example: "racecar" is also "racecar" backwards. Punctuation and numbers *

* will not be part of the string. *

* *

* SOLUTION *

* I have two outliers. The first is to remove all spaces between words since it can *

* cause the reverse string to be wrong. The second is to convert string to lower case *

* so that any capitalized words cause a false answer. I am going to first remove all *

* spaces from the string. Then I am going to convert a new string that converts the *

* modified str into an array and then reverses the contents and then converts it back *

* to a string. I will compare the modified string and the newStr to see if they are *

* equal signifying I have a Palindrome. *

* *

* Steps for solution *

* 1) Modify str by removing all spaces and converting to lower case. *

* 2) Create a new string by converting modified str into an array, reverse it and *

* then convert it back to a string *

* 3) Compare two strings to see if equal meaing I have a Palindrome *

* *
