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.
//用两个指针实现。前提是要忽略其它符号class Solution { public: bool isPalindrome(string s) { if(s.empty()) return true; int i=0; int j=s.size()-1; for(;i<j;i++) {//i后移 if((s[i]>='a' && s[i]<='z') || (s[i]>='A' && s[i]<='Z') || (s[i]>='0' && s[i]<='9')) {//找到第一个为字符或数字的字符 for(;j>i;--j) {//j前移 if((s[j]>='a' && s[j]<='z') || (s[j]>='A' && s[j]<='Z') || (s[j]>='0' && s[j]<='9')) {//找到第一个为字符或数字的字符 if(s[i]==s[j] || s[i]+'A'-'a'==s[j] || s[i]+'a'-'A'==s[j]) {//找到后时行推断 j--;//前进一步 break; } else return false; } } } } return true; } };
