[LeetCode By Python]125. Valid Palindrome

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.

class Solution(object):
    def isPalindrome(self, s):
        """
        :type s: str
        :rtype: bool
        """
        if s=='':
            return True
        i = 0; j = len(s)-1
        while i<j:
            if s[i].isalnum() and s[j].isalnum():＃.isalnum()判断是否为数字或字母
                if s[i].lower()!=s[j].lower():＃.lower()变为小写，较好比较
                    return False
                else:
                    i+=1
                    j-=1
            elif not s[i].isalnum() and s[j].isalnum():
                i+=1
            else:
                j-=1
        return True

a = Solution()
print a.isPalindrome("A man, a plan, a canal: Panama")
