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.
代码如下:
public class ValidPalindrome {
public boolean isPalindrome(String s) {
int low=0,high=s.length()-1;
while(low<high){
char clow = s.charAt(low);
char chigh = s.charAt(high);
if(!Character.isLetterOrDigit(clow))
low++;
else if(!Character.isLetterOrDigit(chigh))
high--;
else{
if(Character.toLowerCase(clow) != Character.toLowerCase(chigh))
return false;
low++;
high--;
}
}
return true;
}
}
