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
Constraints:
- s consists only of printable ASCII characters.
**Solution in python:
class Solution:
def isPalindrome(self, s: str) -> bool:
i = 0
j = len(s) - 1
while i < j:
while i < j and (not s[i].isalnum()):
i+=1
while i < j and (not s[j].isalnum()):
j-=1
if s[i].lower() != s[j].lower():
return False
else:
i+=1
j-=1
return True
