Is it a palindrome? (Java)

Java interview exercise on Strings, difficulty 1 of 3. Solve it in the editor beside a worked example; the tests run the moment you do.

Write isPalindrome(s) that returns true when s reads the same forwards and backwards, considering only letters and digits and ignoring case. The empty string is a palindrome. Do it with two indexes walking inwards, not by building a reversed copy.

Each exercise pairs a worked example with a twin problem to solve in a real editor; the tests run the moment you do. Progress is saved in your browser, and in your account if you sign in.
