    @Stackclash what's the issue?

    @RickCoxDev
    I'm having trouble writing a regular expression that equals any whitespace or punctuation.

    I can get it to equal the first punctuation or whitespace but not any others in the string

    :fire:Bonfire: Check for Palindromes :link:

    function palindrome(str) {
  // Good luck!
  return true;
}



palindrome("eye");

    Return true if the given string is a palindrome. Otherwise, return false.

    @Stackclash Did you read the docs?
    http://devdocs.io/#q=js+RegExp
    Richard Cox
    @RickCoxDev
    yeah I did. I understand what I need to do but I don't think I'm understanding exactly how a match is found in regular expressions.
    what I have now as my regular expression is /\W|\s|_/
    My thinking is "match any character that is not a word character OR match a whitespace OR match any underscore"
    Abhisek Pattnaik
    @abhisekp
    @Stackclash if you don't mention me, how will i know? :(

    @Stackclash The \W matches any non-alphanumeric (and also non-underscore character).

    Edit your thinking

    "match any character that is non-alphanumeric (and underscore) character" also "matches whitespace character". So you don't have to write \s.

    But you need to match the underscore character, so include the underscore.
    Hence, the regex becomes /\W|_/g

    sorry new to gitter.
    @abhisekp that worked. I needed to use global as well.
    thanks @abhisekp
