Thanks for the video. It took me about 29 minutes to realize that I was missing a period in one of my str=str.replace lines. Grateful to have your videos as a reference

[josepharias]

Thank you sir for these videos. They do really help in thinking like a programmer.

[ichigoflavored]

Thanks a lot for these videos. Your explanations help me understand the solution better.

I feel guilty looking at your code and helping us out. I feel I should be struggling and learning the hard way. Is this a guilty feeling you feel still or is it just me?

I am having trouble getting the spaces removed with " ", "", I can get race car to merge using and get rid of space with repacing the whole string. People at free code camp say I should use regex and not hard code. I passed this test but am trying to understand why it is not working the way yours is working when I am following your example to the letter. any suggestions.

[NearestDelia]

I tried it your way.. code by code.. and mine is not recognizing the else return false
what could be that issue?

[AshishSahu]

can split. be done at single line of code instead of using multiple times.

I feel like giving up and i would like to admit, i cant think like a programmer does

function palindrome(str) {
str = str.toLowerCase().replace(/[\W_]/g, '');
for(var i = 0, len = str.length - 1; i < len/2; i++) {
if(str[i] !== str[len-i]) {
return false;
}
}
return true;
}
palindrome("eye", "racecar", "RaceCar", "race CAR", "2A3*3a2", "2A3 3a2", "2_A3*3#A2");

Tutorials will be great if that person had some advanced knowledge... and not like a regular learner on FCC
