题目:
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.
解题思路:设置首尾两个迭代器,从两头向中间遍历即可。只访问数字和字母(需要注意string里的字幕可能会有大小写区别,然而题目要求忽略大小写,因此比较之前需要将字母全部转换成小写或全部转换成大写)。
代码:
class Solution { public: bool isPalindrome(string s) { if(s.empty())return true; string::iterator iter_front=s.begin(),iter_end=s.end()-1; while(iter_front<iter_end){ if(!isalnum(*iter_front)){iter_front++;} else if(!isalnum(*iter_end)){iter_end--;} else if(tolower(*iter_front)==tolower(*iter_end)){ iter_front++; iter_end--; }else{ return false; } } return true; } };
