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.
双指针问题:
java:
public class Solution {
public boolean isPalindrome(String s) {
int len = s.length();
if(len<=0){
return true;
}
int i=0,j=len-1;
while(i<=j){
if(s.charAt(i)>='a'&&s.charAt(i)<='z'||s.charAt(i)>='A'&&s.charAt(i)<='Z'||s.charAt(i)>='0'&&s.charAt(i)<='9'){
if(s.charAt(j)>='a'&&s.charAt(j)<='z'||s.charAt(j)>='A'&&s.charAt(j)<='Z'||s.charAt(j)>='0'&&s.charAt(j)<='9'){
if(s.charAt(i)==s.charAt(j)||s.charAt(i)==s.charAt(j)+32||s.charAt(i)+32==s.charAt(j)){
i++;
j--;
}else{
return false;
}
}else{
j--;
}
}else{
i++;
}
}
return true;
}
}
c++:
class Solution {
public:
bool isPalindrome(string s) {
int len = s.length();
if(len<=1)
return true;
for(int i=0;i<len;i++){
if(s[i]>='a'&&s[i]<='z'){
s[i]=(char)(s[i]-32);
}
}
int i=0,j=len-1;
while(i<=j){
if(s[i]>='0'&&s[i]<='9'||s[i]>='A'&&s[i]<='Z'){
if(s[j]>='0'&&s[j]<='9'||s[j]>='A'&&s[j]<='Z'){
if(s[i]!=s[j]){
return false;
}else{
j--;
i++;
}
}else{
j--;
}
}else{
i++;
}
}
return true;
}
};
