/**
|
|
* @function alphaNumericPalindrome
|
|
* @description alphaNumericPalindrome should return true if the string has alphanumeric characters that are palindrome irrespective of special characters and the letter case.
|
|
* @param {string} str the string to check
|
|
* @returns {boolean}
|
|
* @see [Palindrome](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palindrome)
|
|
* @example
|
|
* The function alphaNumericPalindrome() receives a string with varying formats
|
|
* like "racecar", "RaceCar", and "race CAR"
|
|
* The string can also have special characters
|
|
* like "2A3*3a2", "2A3 3a2", and "2_A3*3#A2"
|
|
*
|
|
* But the catch is, we have to check only if the alphanumeric characters
|
|
* are palindrome i.e remove spaces, symbols, punctuations etc
|
|
* and the case of the characters doesn't matter
