✍️ Weekly Snippet

Palindrome Snippet in TypeScript

A palindrome is a word, phrase, or other sequence of characters that reads the same backward as forward. The fastest way to implement a palindrome method in JavaScript in a single line is to split the original on every character, reverse the resulting array, and join it back together on every character as well.

Compare that resulting string with the original and voilà, you got yourself a palindrome checker.
