leetCode3.1(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.

设置左右两个指针扫描即可，在扫描的过程中要注意对非字母字符的处理

	public static boolean solution_3_1(String str){
		String temp=str.toLowerCase();
		if(temp.equals("")){
			return true;
		}
		else{
			int left=0;
			int right=temp.length()-1;
			while(left<right){
				while(!isvalid(temp.charAt(left)))
					left++;
				while(!isvalid(temp.charAt(right)))
					right--;
				if(temp.charAt(left)==temp.charAt(right)){
					char c1=temp.charAt(left);
					char c2=temp.charAt(right);
					left++;
					right--;
				}
				else{
					return false;
				}
			}
			return true;
		}

		if(c>='a'&&c<='z')
			return true;
		if(c>='0'&&c<='9')
