--description--

Given two strings, determine if the second string is a mirror of the first.

  • A string is considered a mirror if it contains the same letters in reverse order.
  • Treat uppercase and lowercase letters as distinct.
  • Ignore all non-alphabetical characters.

--hints--

isMirror("helloworld", "helloworld") should return false.

js
assert.isFalse(isMirror("helloworld", "helloworld"));

isMirror("Hello World", "dlroW olleH") should return true.

js
assert.isTrue(isMirror("Hello World", "dlroW olleH"));

isMirror("RaceCar", "raCecaR") should return true.

js
assert.isTrue(isMirror("RaceCar", "raCecaR"));

isMirror("RaceCar", "RaceCar") should return false.

js
assert.isFalse(isMirror("RaceCar", "RaceCar"));

isMirror("Mirror", "rorrim") should return false.

js
assert.isFalse(isMirror("Mirror", "rorrim"));

isMirror("Hello World", "dlroW-olleH") should return true.

js
assert.isTrue(isMirror("Hello World", "dlroW-olleH"));

isMirror("Hello World", "!dlroW !olleH") should return true.

js
assert.isTrue(isMirror("Hello World", "!dlroW !olleH"));

js
function isMirror(str1, str2) {

  return str1;
}

--solutions--

js
function isMirror(str1, str2) {
  const clean1 = str1.replace(/[^a-zA-Z]/g, "");
  const clean2 = str2.replace(/[^a-zA-Z]/g, "");
  return clean1.split("").reverse().join("") === clean2;
}
