LeetCode - Valid Palindrome

0. 问题

Given a string, determine if it is a palindrome, considering only alphanumeric characters and ignoring cases.
给你一个字符串， 判定它是否是回文（只统计字母、数字，其他字符请忽略）。

1. 例子

"A man, a plan, a canal: Panama"is a palindrome.
"race a car"is not a palindrome.

2. 笔记

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. 

3. 解答

import java.util.*;

public class Solution {
    public static boolean isPalindrome(String s) {

        s = s.toLowerCase();
        StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();

        // 先去掉标点等字符
        for (int i = 0; i < s.length(); i++ ) {
            char ch = s.charAt(i);
            if ((ch >= '0' && ch <= '9') || (ch >= 'a' && ch <= 'z')) {
                sb.append(ch);
            }
        }

        // 字符串回文判断
        for (int i = 0; i < sb.length()/2; i++) {
            if (Objects.equals(sb.charAt(i), sb.charAt(sb.length()-1-i))) {
                continue;
            } else return false;
        }

        return true;
    }
}
