125\. Valid Palindrome

Easy

A phrase is a **palindrome** if, after converting all uppercase letters into lowercase letters and removing all non-alphanumeric characters, it reads the same forward and backward. Alphanumeric characters include letters and numbers.

Given a string `s`, return `true` _if it is a **palindrome**, or_ `false` _otherwise_.

**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 * 105
*   `s` consists only of printable ASCII characters.
