125. Valid Palindrome java solutions

Given a string, determine if it is a palindrome, considering only alphanumeric characters and ignoring cases.

For example,
"A man, a plan, a canal: Panama" is a palindrome.
"race a car" is not a palindrome.

Note:
Have you consider that the string might be empty? This is a good question to ask during an interview.

For the purpose of this problem, we define empty string as valid palindrome.

 1 public class Solution {
 2     public boolean isPalindrome(String s) {
 3         if(s.trim() == "") return true;
 4         int i = 0,j = s.length()-1;
 5         char c1,c2;
 6         while(i <= j){
 7             c1 = s.charAt(i);
 8             c2 = s.charAt(j);
 9             if(!Character.isLetterOrDigit(c1)) i++;
10             if(!Character.isLetterOrDigit(c2)) j--;
11             if(Character.isLetterOrDigit(c1) && Character.isLetterOrDigit(c2)){
12                 if(Character.toLowerCase(c1) != Character.toLowerCase(c2)) return false;
13                 i++;
14                 j--;
15             }
16         }
17         return true;
18     }
19 }

主要是注意该题中 , . ! 等等不算在回文的序列中。
