leetcode8:Valid Number

Validate if a given string is numeric.

Some examples:
"0" => true
" 0.1 " => true
"abc" => false
"1 a" => false
"2e10" => true

Note: It is intended for the problem statement to be ambiguous. You should gather all requirements up front before implementing one.

{key points:  1.think every possible condition.

2. it's a trick that putting space check in front of if..else.. chain.

class Solution {
public:
    bool isNumber(const char *s) {
        // Start typing your C/C++ solution below
        // DO NOT write int main() function
        bool num = false;
        bool deci = false;
        bool exp = false;
        bool space = false;
        
        while( *s!='\0' && *s==' ') {
            s++;
        }
        
        if( *s=='+' || *s=='-') {
            s++;
        }
        
        while(*s!='\0') {
            if(*s == ' ') {
                space = true;

                    if( *(s+1) == '+' || *(s+1) == '-') {
                        ++s;
                    }

                    num = false;
                }
            } else {
                return false;
            }
            
            ++s;
        }
        
        return num;
        
    }
};

2nd try about 8 errors. can improve by check +- before loop and check +- after 'e'. these are only two placed allowed to put +-.
