Valid Palindrome Problem & Solution
Given a string s
, determine if it is a palindrome, considering only alphanumeric characters and ignoring cases.
See the valid palindrome problem on LeetCode.
C++ Solution
#pragma GCC optimize("Ofast")
#pragma GCC optimization("unroll-loops")
static const int _=[](){std::ios::sync_with_stdio(false);cin.tie(nullptr);cout.tie(nullptr);return 0;}();

while (i < j) {
while (i < j && !isalnum(s[i])) {
++i;
}
while (j > i && !isalnum(s[j])) {
--j;
}
if (i < j && tolower(s[i]) != tolower(s[j])) {
return false;
