Daily JavaScript Challenge: Determine if a String is a Zig-Zag Pattern

Hey fellow developers! 👋 Welcome to today's JavaScript coding challenge. Let's keep those programming skills sharp!

The Challenge

Difficulty: Medium

Topic: String Manipulation

Description

Given a string, determine if it is in a specific zig-zag pattern. A zig-zag pattern is defined by a string that alternates between increasing and decreasing order in terms of the Unicode values of its characters. For example, given the string 'abcd', the correct zig-zag pattern would be 'abac'. Implement a function that returns true if the input string follows a zig-zag pattern.
