Valid Palindrome

描述

Given a string, determine if it is a palindrome, considering only alphanumeric characters and ignoring cases.

For example,

"A man, a plan, a canal: Panama" is a palindrome."race a car" is not a palindrome.

Note:Have you consider that the string might be empty? This is a good question to ask during an interview.

For the purpose of this problem, we define empty string as valid palindrome.

  3. class Solution {
  4.     public boolean isPalindrome(String s) {
  5.         s = s.toLowerCase();
  6.         int left = 0;
  7.         int right = s.length() - 1;
  8.         while (left < right) {
  9.             if (!Character.isLetterOrDigit(s.charAt(left))) ++left;
  10.             else if (!Character.isLetterOrDigit(s.charAt(right))) --right;
  11.             else if (s.charAt(left) != s.charAt(right)) return false;
  12.             else { ++left; --right; }
  13.         }
  14.         return true;
  15.     }
  16. }
