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.
双指针。傻呵呵的。Character的method拿着用啊。
public class Solution {
public boolean isPalindrome(String s) {
if(s == null){
return false;
}
int low = 0;
int high = s.length() - 1;
while(low < high){
if(!Character.isLetterOrDigit(s.charAt(low))){
low++;
continue;
}
if(!Character.isLetterOrDigit(s.charAt(high))){
high--;
continue;
}
if((Character.toLowerCase(s.charAt(low)) != Character.toLowerCase(s.charAt(high)))){
return false;
}
low++;
high--;
}
return true;
}
}
