917. Reverse Only Letters
Given a string S
, return the "reversed" string where all characters that are not a letter stay in the same place, and all letters reverse their positions.
Example 1:
Input: "ab-cd"
Output: "dc-ba"
Example 2:
Input: "a-bC-dEf-ghIj"
Output: "j-Ih-gfE-dCba"
Example 3:
Input: "Test1ng-Leet=code-Q!"
Output: "Qedo1ct-eeLg=ntse-T!"
Note:
S.length <= 100
33 <= S[i].ASCIIcode <= 122
S
doesn't contain\
or"
// Two Pointers
string reverseOnlyLetters(string S) { // time: O(n); space: O(n)
string res = S;
for (int i = 0, j = res.length() - 1; i < j; ++i, --j) {
while (i < j && !isalpha(res[i])) ++i;
while (i < j && !isalpha(res[j])) --j;
swap(res[i], res[j]);
}
return res;
}
