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.
方法
简单的判断是不是回文字符串,注意空串的情况。
public boolean isPalindrome(String s) { if (s == null) { return true; } int len = s.length(); int i = 0; int j = len - 1; while(i < j) { char first = s.charAt(i); if (Character.isLetterOrDigit(first)) { char last = s.charAt(j); if (Character.isLetterOrDigit(last)) { first = Character.toLowerCase(first); last = Character.toLowerCase(last); if (first != last) { return false; } else { i++; j--; } } else { j--; } }else { i++; } } return true; }
