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.
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.
首先是题目的意思是:判断一个句子,正的读和倒着读是否都一样。比如”abba”,就是正读和倒读都一样。这题只是多少忽略大小写,忽略非字母和数字。所以 "A man, a plan, a canal: Panama"
正读和倒读是一样的。
class Solution { public: bool isValideChar(char c){ if(c >= 'A' && c <= 'Z'){ return true; } if(c >= 'a' && c <= 'z'){ return true; } if(c >= '0' && c <= '9'){ return true; } return false; } char tolowerCase(char c){ if(c >= 'A' && c <= 'Z'){ return c - 'A' + 'a'; }else{ return c; } } bool isPalindrome(string s) { int left = 0; int right = s.size() - 1; if(s.size() == 0){ return true; } int sSize = s.size(); while((isValideChar(s[left]) == false) && left < s.size()){ ++left; } while((isValideChar(s[right]) == false) && right >= 0){ --right; } while(left < right){ if(tolowerCase(s[left]) == tolowerCase(s[right])){ ++left; while((isValideChar(s[left]) == false) && left < s.size()){ ++left; } --right; while((isValideChar(s[right]) == false) && right >= 0){ --right; } }else{ return false; } } return true; } };
还是比较容易的,一个指向前,一个指向后,进行比较,过滤掉非字母数字。
