原题
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. 题目大意
给定一个字符串,判断它是否是回文字符串,仅考虑字母,并且忽略大小写。
解题思路
使用首尾指针,分别找到第一个符合条件的位置,进行比较,如果相等就进行下一组比较,不相等就返回false,直到所有的字母都处理完。
代码实现
实现类
public class Solution { public boolean isPalindrome(String s) { if (s == null) { return false; } int left = 0; int right = s.length() - 1; int delta = 'A' - 'a'; char l; char r; while (left < right) { while (left < s.length() && !isAlphanumericCharacters(s.charAt(left))) { // 从左向右找数字与字母 left++; } while (right >= 0 && !isAlphanumericCharacters(s.charAt(right))) { // 从右向左找数字与字母 right--; } if (left < right) { l = s.charAt(left); r = s.charAt(right); if (l == r || l - r == delta || r - l == delta) { left++; right--; } else { return false; } } } return true; } /** * 判断是否是字母或者数字 * * @param c 待判断的数字 * @return 判断结果 */ private boolean isAlphanumericCharacters(char c) { return c >= '0' && c <= '9' || c >= 'a' && c <= 'z' || c >= 'A' && c <= 'Z'; }}
