Find the largest palindrome made from the product of two 3-digit numbers - Javascript

Question

Can anyone tell me what\'s wrong with the code. Find the largest palindrome made from the product of two 3-digit numbers.

function largestPalind         


        

Answer 1

Yours doesn't work properly since it checks 999*999, then 999*998, then 999*997 until it reaches about 999*583. While it doesn't check 997*995 or something closer to the top which generates a larger number

function largestPalindrome(){

    var arr = [];    
    for(var i =999; i>100; i--){
        for(var j = 999; j>100; j--){
            var mul = j*i;
            if(isPalin(mul)){
                arr.push(j * i);
            }
        }
    }

    return Math.max.apply(Math, arr);
}

function isPalin(i){
    return i.toString() == i.toString().split("").reverse().join("");
}

console.log(largestPalindrome());

Here is another approach, store all palindrome generated by 3 numbers in an array, then use Math.max on the array to get the largest palindrome
