Valid Palindrome

-----QUESTION-----

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 goodquestion to ask during an interview.

For the purpose of this problem, we define empty string as validpalindrome.

public:
    bool isPalindrome(string s) {
        if(s.empty()) return true;

                cRear = s[--rear];
                if(front > rear) break;
                if(cFront <= 'Z'&& cFront >='A')
                {
                    cFront +=32;
