Largest palindrome product

A palindromic number reads the same both ways. The largest palindrome made from the product of two 2-digit numbers is 9009 = 91 × 99. Find the largest palindrome made from the product of two 3-digit numbers.

Comment used to generate the code:

a function that returns the largest palindrome product of two numbers of n digits

export default function largestPalindromeProduct(n) {

      // declare variables

      var largestPalindrome = 0;

      var largestProduct = 0;

      // loop through all numbers of n digits

      for (var i = 10 ** (n - 1); i < 10 ** n; i++) {

          for (var j = 10 ** (n - 1); j < 10 ** n; j++) {

              // if the product of i and j is a palindrome

              if (isPalindrome(i * j) && i * j > largestPalindrome) {

                  // set largest palindrome to product

                  largestPalindrome = i * j;

                  // set largest product to i and j

                  largestProduct = i * j;

              }

          }

      }

      // return largest palindrome product

      return largestProduct;

    }

    

    // function to check if a number is a palindrome

    function isPalindrome(num: number) : boolean {

      // convert the number to a string

      let numStr = num.toString();

      // iterate through the string

      for (let i = 0; i < numStr.length; i++) {

          // check if the first and last characters are the same

          if (numStr[i] !== numStr[numStr.length - 1 - i]) {

              // return false

              return false;

          }

      }

      // return true

      return true;

    }

Thoughts:

When I first came across copilot I had no coding experience and hit a wall and eventually gave up. So this is where copilot's achievements begin to outstrip my own, though looking at the problem now it doesn't seem like it would be the same challenge as when I first approached it.
