### palindrome
Returns `true` if the given string is a palindrome, `false` otherwise.
Convert the string to `String.prototype.toLowerCase()` and use `String.prototype.replace()` to remove non-alphanumeric characters from it.
Then, use the spread operator (`...`) to split the string into individual characters, `Array.prototype.reverse()`, `String.prototype.join('')` and compare it to the original, unreversed string, after converting it to `String.prototype.toLowerCase()`.
```js
const palindrome = str => {
const s = str.toLowerCase().replace(/[\W_]/g, '');
return s === [...s].reverse().join('');
};
```
```js
palindrome('taco cat'); // true
```
