### Example 1:
- Input: `s = "A man, a plan, a canal: Panama"`
- Output: `true`
- Explanation: `"amanaplanacanalpanama"` is a palindrome.
### Example 2:
- Input: `s = "race a car"`
- Output: `false`
- Explanation: `"raceacar"` is not a palindrome.
### Example 3:
- Input: `s = " "`
- Output: `true`
- Explanation: `s` is an empty string `""` after removing non-alphanumeric characters. Since an empty string reads the same forward and backward, it is a palindrome.
### Constraints:
- `1 <= s.length <= 2 * 10^5`
- `s` consists only of printable ASCII characters.
## Solution
```js
/**
* @param {string} s
* @return {boolean}
*/
var isPalindrome = function(s) {
let normal = s.replace(/[^a-zA-Z0-9]/g, "").toLowerCase()
let i = 0, j = normal.length - 1;
while (i < j) {
if(normal[i] !== normal[j]) {
return false;
}
i++;
j--;
}
return true;
};
```
