function checkPalindrome(inputString) {
 var p = inputString.split("),
 ch = p.slice().reverse();
 return p.toString() == ch.toString();
}

 console.log (
checkPalindrome('abcvvcba'),
checkPalindrome('abcvcba'),
checkPalindrome('bcbaaaa'),
checkPalindrome('aaa')
 );

Solution

The function continues after return statement to true

No, not continues. That you think so, due to the recursive call. By the way, it too should be returned, i.e. instead of just
checkPalindrome(newStr);
must be
return checkPalindrome(newStr);

Oh and check for an empty string there.

Thank you, now everything became clear)) - richard.Bog commented on June 8th 19 at 16:37
