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.
应该算是leetcode上最简单的题之一了吧。双指针可搞定。。
public boolean isPalindrome(String s) {
int i=0;
int j=s.length()-1;
while(i<j) {
if(!Character.isLetterOrDigit(s.charAt(i))) {
i++;
continue;
}
if(!Character.isLetterOrDigit(s.charAt(j))) {
j--;
continue;
}
if(Character.toLowerCase(s.charAt(i))!=Character.toLowerCase(s.charAt(j)))
return false;
i++;
j--;
}
return true;
}
