Valid Palindrome and Anagram Solutions in JavaScript

Solving String Patterns on Day 219 Today Today I spent my time working on string manipulation problems using JavaScript. I focused on two very common interview patterns which are Palindromes and Anagrams. For the Valid Palindrome problem I used the two-pointer technique. This involves cleaning the string to remove non-alphanumeric characters and then comparing letters from the start and the end. This approach is very efficient because it only goes through the string once. For the Valid Anagram problem I practiced three different solutions. The first way was using a standard JavaScript object to count the frequency of each character. The second way was using the Map constructor for better performance with different key types. The most optimized way I learned was using a fixed-size array of 26 elements. Since we only deal with lowercase English letters an array is much faster than a hash map and uses constant extra space. Learning these different ways to solve the same problem helps me understand how to balance time and memory. It is not just about getting the right answer but finding the best way to get there.
