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.
比较简单的双指针,适合练习
public class Solution { public boolean isPalindrome(String s) { if(s.length() == 0) return true; int l = s.length()-1; int i = 0; while(i<=l){ if(!Character.isLetterOrDigit(s.charAt(i))){ i++; } else if(!Character.isLetterOrDigit(s.charAt(l))){ l--; } else { if(Character.toLowerCase(s.charAt(i)) != Character.toLowerCase(s.charAt(l))){ return false; } i++; l--; } } return true; } }
