## 题目地址 https://leetcode.com/problems/valid-palindrome/description/ ## 题目描述 ``` 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 ``` ## 思路 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: ![125.valid-palindrome-1](../assets/problems/125.valid-palindrome-1.png) 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: ![125.valid-palindrome-2](../assets/problems/125.valid-palindrome-2.png) ## 关键点解析 - 双指针 ## 代码 * 语言支持:JS,C++,Python JavaScript Code: ```js /* * @lc app=leetcode id=125 lang=javascript * * [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: ```C++ 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: ```python 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 def isPalindrome2(self, s: str) -> bool: """ 使用语言特性进行求解 """ s = ''.join(i for i in s if i.isalnum()).lower() return s == s[::-1] ```
