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.
分析:题目是要判定一个字符串是否是回文,且忽略空格和标点符号,只判断字母和数字,注意不区分大小写,比如“Aa”是回文,空字符串是回文。
解题:其实就是定义i和j,分别指向串头和串尾,判定是否一样,不一样则返回false,一样则i和j同时往中间移位,直至i>=j
核心部分:string::size_type i=0,j=s.size()-1;
while(i<j){
while(i<j&&!isalnum(s[i])){
i++;
}
while(i<j&&!isalnum(s[j])){
j--;
}
if(i>=j){
break;
}
if(tolower(s[i])!=tolower(s[j])){
return false;
}
i++;
j--;
}
return true;
