Is the word a palindrome
MediumStrings10 min
Write a function isPalindromeWord(word) that returns true when word is a palindrome and false otherwise.
wordhas only Latin letters, from 1 to 1000 of them.- The check is case insensitive:
'Racecar','NOON'and'abBA'are palindromes. - A word of one letter is a palindrome.
- Return
trueorfalse.
Tip: at the whiteboard there was no IDE. Try two indexes, one from each end of the word, that move toward each other (two pointers). The tests check only the result.
Examples
isPalindromeWord('Racecar')Returns true
isPalindromeWord('Level')Returns true
isPalindromeWord('hello')Returns false
