LeetCode 125 Valid Palindrome

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.

题目分析：简单题，头尾指针判断即可，击败60%

public class Solution {
    
    public boolean ok(char ch) {
        if (ch >= '0' && ch <= '9') {
            return true;
        } else if (ch >= 'A' && ch <= 'Z') {
            return true;
        } else if (ch >= 'a' && ch <= 'z') {
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }
    
    public boolean isPalindrome(String s) {
        int len = s.length();
        if (len < 2) {
            return true;
        }
        String str = s.toLowerCase();
        int i = 0, j = len - 1;
        while (i < j) {
            while (i < j && !ok(str.charAt(i))) {
                i ++;
            }   
            while (i < j && !ok(str.charAt(j))) {
                j --;
            }
            if (str.charAt(i) != str.charAt(j)) {
                return false;
            }
            i ++;
            j --;
        }
        return true;
    }
}

当然各种调用现成的两行即可实现

public class Solution {
    
    public boolean isPalindrome(String s) {
        String str = s.toLowerCase().replaceAll("[^a-z0-9]", "");
        return new StringBuffer(str).reverse().toString().equals(str);
    }
}
