Return true
if the given string is a palindrome. Otherwise, return false
.
A palindrome is a word or sentence that's spelled the same way both forward and backward, ignoring punctuation, case, and spacing.
Note
You'll need to remove all non-alphanumeric characters (punctuation, spaces and symbols) and turn everything lower case in order to check for palindromes.
We'll pass strings with varying formats, such as "racecar"
, "RaceCar"
, and "race CAR"
among others.
We'll also pass strings with special symbols, such as "2A3*3a2"
, "2A3 3a2"
, and "2_A3*3#A2"
.
