function palindrome(str) {
  /** Replace punctuation, space and case */

  /** Extract first and second part of string */
  let first = cleanedStr.substr(0, (cleanedStr.length - (cleanedStr.length % 2)) / 2);
  let second = cleanedStr.substr((cleanedStr.length + (cleanedStr.length % 2)) / 2);
  /** Check if flipped second part are equal to first part */
  return (second.split("").reverse().join("") === first) ? true : false;
}
