Problem: Valid Palindrome
Understand how to verify if a given string is a valid palindrome by converting characters to lowercase and ignoring all non-alphanumeric symbols. Learn the two-pointer technique to compare characters from both ends, optimizing for time and space complexity to achieve a linear check without extra storage.
We'll cover the following...
Statement
A phrase is considered a palindrome if, after converting all uppercase letters to lowercase and stripping all non-alphanumeric characters, it reads the same forward and backward. Alphanumeric characters include both letters and numbers.
Given a string s, return true if it qualifies as a palindrome after the transformations described above, or false otherwise.
Note: An empty string (which may result after removing all non-alphanumeric characters) is considered a palindrome.
Constraints:
s.length...
