LeetCode 125. Valid Palindorme (验证回文字符串)

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.

题目标签：String， Two Pointers

　　题目给了我们一个string s， 让我们判断它是不是 palindorme。

　　对于s， 我们只需要比较 字母 和 数字。

       设置一个 left = 0， right = s.length() -1，依次比较，其中遇到任何其他 char 就跳过，具体看code。

　　一开始不知道有 Character.isLetterOrDigit() ，还分别用了 letter 和 digit - -

 5         // use two pointers
 6         int left = 0;
 7         int right = s.length() - 1;
 8         
 9         char [] char_arr = s.toCharArray();
10         
11         while(left < right)
12         {
13             while(left < right && !Character.isLetterOrDigit(char_arr[left])) // if char is not letter or digit
14                 left++;
15             
16             while(left < right && !Character.isLetterOrDigit(char_arr[right])) // if char is not letter or digit
17                 right--;
18 
19             if(Character.toUpperCase(char_arr[left]) != Character.toUpperCase(char_arr[right]))
