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.
/*
time:O(n), space:O(1)
*/
public class Solution {public boolean isPalindrome(String s) {
if (s == null || s.length() == 0) {
return true;
}
int left = 0;
int right = s.length() - 1;
while (left < right) {
while (left < right && !Character.isLetterOrDigit(s.charAt(left))) {
left++;
}
while (left < right && !Character.isLetterOrDigit(s.charAt(right))) {
right--;
}
if (Character.toLowerCase(s.charAt(left)) != Character.toLowerCase(s.charAt(right))) {
return false;
}
left++;
right--;
}
return true;
}
}
