Problem: Valid Palindrome

easy
15 min
Explore how to efficiently validate if a string is a palindrome using the two pointers technique. Learn to ignore non-alphanumeric characters and case differences while solving this common coding interview problem. This lesson helps you break down the problem and implement a clear solution in a hands-on coding environment.

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.
