leetcode | Valid Palindrome

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.

public class Solution {
    public boolean isPalindrome(String s) {
        
        
        int len = s.length();
        if(len <= 1)return true;  
        int begin = 0;
        int end = len-1;
        while(begin<end)
        {
            while(begin<end&&!isChar(s.charAt(begin)))
                begin++;
            while(begin<end&&!isChar(s.charAt(end)))
                end--;
            
            if(toLowerCase(s.charAt(begin++))!=toLowerCase(s.charAt(end--)))
                return false;
        }
        return true;
    }
