Description
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.
My solution
// 我的解法太长了,显然是可以被精简的,里面太多if规则
class Solution {
public:
bool isPalindrome(string s) {
int i = 0, j = s.size() - 1;
int iscapi, iscapj;
while (i < j) {
iscapi = 0;
iscapj = 0;
for (; i < j;) {
if ('a' <= s[i] && s[i] <= 'z') {
iscapi = 1;
break;
}
if ('A' <= s[i] && s[i] <= 'Z') {
iscapi = 2;
break;
}
if ('0' <= s[i] && s[i] <= '9') break;
i++;
}
for (; i < j;) {
if ('a' <= s[j] && s[j] <= 'z') {
iscapj = 1;
break;
}
if ('A' <= s[j] && s[j] <= 'Z') {
iscapj = 2;
break;
}
if ('0' <= s[j] && s[j] <= '9') break;
j--;
}
if(i==j) break;
if (iscapi == iscapj) {
if (s[i] != s[j]) return false;
} else {
if (iscapi == 2)
if (s[i] - s[j] != -32) return false; else;
else if (s[i] - s[j] != 32) return false;
}
i++;
j--;
}
return true;
}
};
当心上面有悬挂else陷阱.之前发生了错误.
Discuss
bool isPalindrome(string s) {
for (int i = 0, j = s.size() - 1; i < j; i++, j--) { // Move 2 pointers from each end until they collide
while (isalnum(s[i]) == false && i < j) i++; // Increment left pointer if not alphanumeric
while (isalnum(s[j]) == false && i < j) j--; // Decrement right pointer if no alphanumeric
if (toupper(s[i]) != toupper(s[j])) return false; // Exit and return error if not match
}
return true;
}
- 别人的代码主要是有isalnum()/toupper()精简,基本逻辑一致.
- 另外i/j的两个while也很漂亮
