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.
思路:
两个指针左右移动的同时比较字符是否相同。
题解:
class Solution {
public:
bool isPalindrome(string s) {
size_t len = s.size();
if (len == 0)
return true;
int l = 0;
int r = len - 1;
while(l < r)
{
while(!isalnum(s[l]) && l < r) l++;
while(!isalnum(s[r]) && l < r) r--;
if (tolower(s[l]) != tolower(s[r]))
return false;
l++; r--;
}
return true;
}
};
