Easy
15 min
Understand how to use the two-pointer approach to check if a given string is a valid palindrome. This lesson guides you through processing the string by converting letters to lowercase and ignoring non-alphanumeric characters. You will gain skills to solve palindrome problems efficiently within the constraints provided.

Statement

Given a string, s, return TRUE if it is a palindrome; otherwise, return FALSE.

A phrase is considered a palindrome if it reads the same backward as forward after converting all uppercase letters to lowercase and removing any characters that are not letters or numbers. Only alphanumeric characters (letters and digits) are taken into account.

Constraints:

  • 11 \leq s.length 3000\leq 3000

  • s consists only of printable ASCII characters.
