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.
用两个下标,i,j,j为最后一个元素的位置,如果不是字母或数字字符,则跳过。比较下标为i和j的两个元素。如果不相等,则不是回文,并跳出循环。因为题目忽略大小写,所以还要将大写字母换成小写字母。
class Solution {
public:
bool isPalindrome(string s) {
int len=s.size();
int i=0,j=len-1;
while(i<j){
if(!((s[i]>='A'&&s[i]<='Z')||(s[i]>='a'&&s[i]<='z')||(s[i]>='0'&&s[i]<='9'))){
i++;
continue;
}
if(!((s[j]>='A'&&s[j]<='Z')||(s[j]>='a'&&s[j]<='z')||(s[j]>='0'&&s[j]<='9'))){
j--;
continue;
}
if(s[i]>='A'&&s[i]<='Z')
s[i]=s[i]-'A'+'a';
if(s[j]>='A'&&s[j]<='Z')
s[j]=s[j]-'A'+'a';
if(s[i]!=s[j]){
return false;
// break; 有没有都是accept
}
else{
i++;j--;
}
}
return true;
}
};
