Just a pointless JS snippet to test if a word is a palindrome.

palindrome.js

function isPalindrome(str = '') {
  return str === String(str).split('').reverse().join('');
}
 
/*
  // Example usage…

  // Logs `true`.
  isPalindrome('racecar');

  // Logs `true`.
  isPalindrome(45654);

  // Logs `false`.
  isPalindrome('hello');

  // Logs `false`.
  isPalindrome(12345);
*/

For further pointlessness, see this string reversal benchmark test…

So awesome! :)
