https://leetcode.com/problems/valid-palindrome/description/
Given a string, determine if it is a palindrome, considering only alphanumeric characters and ignoring cases.
Note: For the purpose of this problem, we define empty string as valid palindrome.
Example 1:
Input: "A man, a plan, a canal: Panama"
Output: true
Example 2:
Input: "race a car"
Output: false
这是一道考察回文的题目,而且是最简单的形式,即判断一个字符串是否是回文。
针对这个问题,我们可以使用头尾双指针,
- 如果两个指针的元素不相同,则直接返回false,
- 如果两个指针的元素相同,我们同时更新头尾指针,循环。 直到头尾指针相遇。
时间复杂度为O(n).
拿“noon”这样一个回文串来说,我们的判断过程是这样的:
拿“abaa”这样一个不是回文的字符串来说,我们的判断过程是这样的:
- 双指针
- 语言支持:JS,C++,Python
JavaScript Code:
/*

*
* [125] Valid Palindrome
*/
// 只处理英文字符(题目忽略大小写,我们前面全部转化成了小写, 因此这里我们只判断小写)和数字
function isValid(c) {
const charCode = c.charCodeAt(0);
const isDigit =
charCode >= "0".charCodeAt(0) && charCode <= "9".charCodeAt(0);
const isChar = charCode >= "a".charCodeAt(0) && charCode <= "z".charCodeAt(0);
return isDigit || isChar;
}
/**
* @param {string} s
* @return {boolean}
*/
var isPalindrome = function(s) {
s = s.toLowerCase();
let left = 0;
let right = s.length - 1;
while (left < right) {
if (!isValid(s[left])) {
left++;
continue;
}
if (!isValid(s[right])) {
right--;
continue;
}
if (s[left] === s[right]) {
left++;
right--;
} else {
break;
}
}
return right <= left;
};
C++ Code:
class Solution {
public:
bool isPalindrome(string s) {
if (s.empty())
return true;
const char* s1 = s.c_str();
const char* e = s1 + s.length() - 1;
while (e > s1) {
if (!isalnum(*s1)) {++s1; continue;}
if (!isalnum(*e)) {--e; continue;}
if (tolower(*s1) != tolower(*e)) return false;
else {--e; ++s1;}
}
return true;
}
};
Python Code:
class Solution:
def isPalindrome(self, s: str) -> bool:
left, right = 0, len(s) - 1
while left < right:
if not s[left].isalnum():
left += 1
continue
if not s[right].isalnum():
right -= 1
continue
if s[left].lower() == s[right].lower():
left += 1
right -= 1
else:
break
return right <= left
