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.
solution:
循环遍历字符串,将非字母非数字的字符用''直接替换掉得到纯字母数字字符串,然后忽略大小写lower()或者upper()判断是否为回文
code:
class Solution {
public:
bool isPalindrome(string s) {
int left=0,right=s.size()-1;
while(left<right)
{
while(left<right && isalnum(s[left]) == false)
left++;
while(left<right && isalnum(s[right]) == false )
right--;
if(left>=right) return true;
if(toupper(s[left]) != toupper(s[right]))
return false;
left++,right--;
}
return true;
}
};
