palindromic.js

function palindromic(number, steps) {
  var returnObj = {};
  steps = steps || '0';

  // check if number passed in is palindrome
  var numberStrReversed = number.toString().split("").reverse().join("");
  if (number.toString() === numberStrReversed) {
    returnObj.value = number;
    returnObj.steps = parseInt(steps);

    return returnObj;
  } else {
    var newNumber = number + parseInt(numberStrReversed);
    var newStep = parseInt(steps) + 1 + '';
    return palindromic(newNumber, newStep);
  }
}

console.log(palindromic(87));
