Valid Palindrome

https://leetcode.com/problems/valid-palindrome/description/

Problem Description

A phrase is a palindrome if, after converting all uppercase letters into lowercase letters and removing all non-alphanumeric characters, it reads the same forward and backward. Alphanumeric characters include letters and numbers.

Given a string s, return true if it is a palindrome, or false otherwise.

Example 1

Input: s = "A man, a plan, a canal: Panama"
Output: true

Explanation: "amanaplanacanalpanama" is a palindrome.

Example 2

Input: s = "race a car"
Output: false

Explanation: "raceacar" is not a palindrome.

Example 3

Input: s = " "
Output: true

Explanation: s is an empty string "" after removing non-alphanumeric characters. Since an empty string reads the same forward and backward, it is a palindrome.

Constraints:

  • 1 <= s.length <= 2 * 105
  • s consists only of printable ASCII characters.
