Number is a palindrome if it is equal to the number with digits in reversed order. For example, 5, 44, 171, 4884 are palindromes and 43, 194, 4773 are not palindromes. Write a method palindrome_chain_length which takes a positive number and returns the number of special steps needed to obtain a palindrome. The special step is: "reverse the digit…

palindromeChainLength.js

var palindromeChainLength = function(n) {
 let notIsPalindrome = true, index = 0, value=n;
 while(notIsPalindrome){
   let reversed = Number.parseInt(value.toString().split('').reverse().join(''));
   if(value == reversed){
     notIsPalindrome = false;
   }else{
     index++;
     value += reversed;
   }
 }
 return index;
}
