1. String Palindrome
Easy
0/40
Asked in companies
Given a string, determine if it is a palindrome, considering only alphanumeric characters.
Palindrome
A palindrome is a word, number, phrase, or other sequences of characters which read the same backwards and forwards.
Example:
If the input string happens to be, "malayalam" then as we see that this word can be read the same as forward and backwards, it is said to be a valid palindrome.
The expected output for this example will print, 'true'.
From that being said, you are required to return a boolean value from the function that has been asked to implement.
