How to write palindrome in JavaScript

Question

I wonder how to write palindrome in javascript, where I input different words and program shows if word is palindrome or not. For example word noon is palindrome, while bad

Answer 1

Faster Way:

-Compute half the way in loop.

-Store length of the word in a variable instead of calculating every time.

EDIT: Store word length/2 in a temporary variable as not to calculate every time in the loop as pointed out by (mvw) .

function isPalindrome(word){
   var i,wLength = word.length-1,wLengthToCompare = wLength/2;

   for (i = 0; i <= wLengthToCompare ; i++) {
     if (word.charAt(i) != word.charAt(wLength-i)) {
        return false;
     }
   }
   return true;
}
