题目:
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.
解答:一个从前往后遍历,一个从后往前遍历,剔除非字母非数字的字符,若不相等,则为假。
代码:
public class Solution {
public boolean isPalindrome(String s) {
if(s == null || s.length() == 0)
return true;
char[] ac = s.toLowerCase().toCharArray();
int i=0,j=ac.length-1;
while(i<j){
if(!isAlphaNumberic(ac[i])){
i++;
continue;
}
if(!isAlphaNumberic(ac[j])){
j--;
continue;
}
if(ac[i] != ac[j])
return false;
i++;
j--;
}
return true;
}
public boolean isAlphaNumberic(char c){
return Character.isAlphabetic(c) || Character.isDigit(c);
}
}
