Question:
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) { if (s == null || s.length() == 0) { return true; } String sUsed = s.toLowerCase().trim(); int left = 0; int right = sUsed.length() - 1; while (left < right) { if (!(sUsed.charAt(left) <= ‘z‘ && sUsed.charAt(left) >= ‘a‘) && !(sUsed.charAt(left) <= ‘9‘ && sUsed.charAt(left) >= ‘0‘)) { ++left; } else if (!(sUsed.charAt(right) <= ‘z‘ && sUsed.charAt(right) >= ‘a‘) && !(sUsed.charAt(right) <= ‘9‘ && sUsed.charAt(right) >= ‘0‘)) { --right; } else if (sUsed.charAt(right) != sUsed.charAt(left)) { return false; } else if (sUsed.charAt(right) == sUsed.charAt(left)) { ++left; --right; } } return true; } }
